History
Badminton has been known and played in the United Arab Emirates since 2014, when the sport gained popularity after Dubai hosted the 2014 BWF Super Series Finals.[2] Following the establishment of the UAE Badminton Federation in 2016, the national team have taken part in Shuttle Time programs organized by the Badminton World Federation.[3][4]
Mixed team
The United Arab Emirates were chosen as hosts for the 2023 Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships and qualified for the championships as the host team.[5] They were placed in Group B with India, Malaysia and Kazakhstan.[6][7] The Emirati team had a decent debut. Although the team lost 5–0 against India and Malaysia in their first two matches, the team gave a good fight against Kazakhstan and lost narrowly.[8][9]
