The Finnish Badminton Hall of Fame

Induction into the Finnish Badminton Hall of Fame honors players, coaches, umpires, executives, club organizers, and other individuals who have distinguished themselves through their work for Finnish badminton. Hall of Fame membership can be achieved through contributions both on and off the court.

Between zero and four new members are inducted into the Finnish Badminton Hall of Fame annually. To be eligible as a player, one must have retired from international competition at the elite level. The inductees are announced at an official Badminton Finland event. The selection decision is made by a panel comprising the Merit Badge Committee members, the President of the Association, the Honorary President, the Executive Director, and the Editor-in-Chief of Badminton Magazine, provided these positions are active at the time of selection.

In addition to the online Hall of Fame gallery, Badminton Finland maintains a physical collection at the association’s premises. Inductees (or their families) are presented with an official Hall of Fame plaque.

The Finnish Badminton Hall of Fame was established on Saturday, September 13, 2014, at Kaivohuone in Helsinki, as part of Badminton Finland’s 60th-anniversary gala.
