Country team badminton ranking – how it is done by BWF

The ranking done by BWF (Badminton World Federation) takes into account the following:

country team placement at the Sudirman Cup
country team placement at the Thomas Cup
country team placement at the Uber Cup
placement of the top player or double/mixed-doubles from each country in each of the 5 categories.
Depending on the placement a certain amount of points is awarded. F.ex. if a country’s highest-placed single player is number 2 on the world ranking, the country is awarded 1.500 points, if the highest-ranked player is number 5 on the world ranking list, the country is awarded 1.200 points, and so on.

The World Team Country Ranking is updated every 3 months.

The top badminton countries in Europe are …

Denmark has been a constant fixture on the list of top 10 countries since 2011.
Currently, European countries such as Germany, France, England, and Spain are the countries to watch out for. One or more of them may very well have a shot at becoming the next European number 1.

Top badminton countries outside Asia and Europe

The countries to watch out for are Canada, the United States of America, Egypt, and perhaps even Brazil. But also United Arab Emirates (UAE) where badminton recently has enjoyed renewed focus from the powers that be.

Is this the method to identify the number 1 badminton country?

At Badmintonspeak we believe that BWF’s current country ranking method gives a reasonably accurate picture of the best badminton countries. What is your opinion? Please use the comment section to let us know
