History
Badminton was introduced to Cambodia in the 1950s and the national team was formed shortly after the formation of Cambodia Badminton Federation in 1958. Cambodia has had weak results in badminton compared to its Southeast Asian neighbors. They've yet to win a medal in badminton at the Southeast Asian Games but did however win a bronze medal in mixed doubles at the 1971 Asian Badminton Championships when the country was under civil war.[2]
In 2022, the Cambodian team hired South Korean coach Choi Seung-kook as preparation for the 2023 Southeast Asian Games.[3] In 2023, the Cambodia Badminton Federation received backlash for banning the national teams of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam from competing in the mixed team event at the 2023 Southeast Asian Games.[4]
Men's team
The Cambodian men's team first competed in the 1962 Asian Games. The team were eliminated in the quarter-finals after losing 5-0 to Malaysia.[5]
Cambodia sent a total of 4 players to compete at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games men's team event. The team lost 3–0 to Malaysia. Cambodia then lost to Thailand in the quarter-finals at the 2009 and 2011 Southeast Asian Games. Cambodia lost to Malaysia again at the 2015 Southeast Asian Games.[6] In 2017, the team lost to Indonesia 3–0 and then lost to Thailand again at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games.[7][8]
In the 2023 Southeast Asian Games men's team event, the men's team lost 3–0 to Thailand in the quarter-finals.[9]
Women's team
The Cambodian women's team were scheduled to debut and compete against Malaysia in the quarter-finals at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games but withdrew without any reason given from the national federation.[10][11] In the 2023 Southeast Asian Games women's team event, the women's team lost 3–0 to Indonesia in the quarter-finals.[12]
Mixed team
The Cambodian mixed team were the home team in the mixed team event at the 2023 Southeast Games. In the quarter-finals, the team defeated Timor-Leste 3–0.[13] In the semi-finals, the team went head to head against Laos. The team lost their first match in mixed doubles but then came back from trailing 0–1 when Sok Rikreay defeated Manut Phiasoulin in the men's singles match 10–21, 22–20, 21–10. The team won 3–2 over Laos after the Cambodian team claimed victory in women's doubles and singles.[14] In the final, the team won 3–2 against Myanmar and won gold in the mixed team event.[15][16]
