The Cambodia national badminton team (Khmer: ក្រុមកីឡាវាយសីជម្រើសជាតិកម្ពុជា។) represents Cambodia in international badminton team competitions.[1] It is controlled by the Cambodia Badminton Federation (Khmer: សហព័ន្ធកីឡាវាយសីកម្ពុជា). Cambodia have never competed in any BWF organized team tournaments.
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]
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]
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]
