History edit

The Macedonian national team was formed after the establishment of the Macedonian Badminton Federation in 2003. The team later became part of Badminton Europe and the Badminton World Federation. Badminton in Macedonia is limited due to the lack of gyms and courts.[5] The national team competed in their first team tournament at the 2006 Balkan Badminton Championships mixed team event.[6]

Mixed team edit

North Macedonia first competed in the 2006 Balkan Badminton Championships. In the mixed team event, the team lost the 5th place tie to Serbia and Montenegro.[6] The team then competed in the 2009 Balkan Badminton Championships in Bulgaria but lost the bronze medal match to Serbia.[6] North Macedonia then finished in 6th place at the 2010 Balkan Badminton Championships.[7]
