History
The Vietnamese badminton team was formed following the establishment of the Vietnam Badminton Federation in 1958. In the 1960s, sports clubs in Hanoi and Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City) began to play the sport and started to spread its popularity across the North and the South.[1] The team have never qualified for the Thomas Cup and Uber Cup. Nguyễn Tiến Minh won Vietnam's first World Championship medal at the 2013 BWF World Championships.[2]
Men's team
The Vietnamese men's team first competed in the 1995 Southeast Asian Games. The team have lost in the quarterfinals until 2005 when the team defeat Singapore 3–2 to enter the semi-finals for a guaranteed bronze. The team won when scratch pair Nguyễn Quang Minh and Nguyễn Hoàng Hải defeat Khoo Kian Teck and Alvin Fu to deliver the winning point for Vietnam.[3][4]
Vietnam competed in the 2023 SEA Games men's team event. The team put in their best efforts against the Malaysian team. Lê Đức Phát earned the team's first point when he defeated Lee Shun Yang, whom he previously lost to in the 2021 Southeast Asian Games.[5] The team failed to convert and lost 3–1 in the quarter-final stage.[6]
Women's team
The Vietnamese women's team debuted at the 1995 Southeast Asian Games. The team then reached the semi-finals at the 1999 Southeast Asian Games but lost to Indonesia 5–0. They reached the semi-finals again in 2001 but lost to Thailand 3–0.[7] At the 2003 Southeast Asian Games, the women's team reached their third consecutive semi-final by beating the Philippines 3–2 in the quarter-finals.[8]
In 2018, the Vietnamese women's team made their first appearance at the Badminton Asia Team Championships.[9] The team lost to Thailand and Malaysia but won against the Philippines in the group stage.[10] In 2021, the Vietnamese women's team made history by beating Malaysia for the first time to enter the semi-finals at the 2021 Southeast Asian Games.[11] In 2023, the Vietnamese women's team competed in the 2023 SEA Games women's team event and lost 3–0 to Singapore.[12]
