About Nagaland Badminton Association

Promoting badminton across Nagaland—building pathways from grassroots to elite.

Who We Are

The Nagaland Badminton Association (NBA) is the apex body for badminton in the state. Since its formative years, the Association has nurtured coaches and players, and organized invitational and inter-state tournaments—laying the foundation for structured badminton in Nagaland.

Early efforts included appointing a state badminton coach trained at the National Institute of Sports, followed by hosting major invitational events that brought together neighbouring states and raised the competitive bar within Nagaland.
