(IBF) was organized, now known as the Badminton
World Federation (BWF)
 First contested as an official Olympic sport at the

BADMINTON from
POONA?

13. It was in the 1860s, when some British
officers in India who were stationed at
'Kirkee' near the city of 'Poona' (now known
as Pune city) used toplay a game which
was very similar to badminton and the
game was known as the 'Poona' game at
that time.

14. These soldiers played with Battledores (Paddles)
which was used to hit the shuttlecock and had also
added a net in between the players. When these
British soldiers returned back home at
Gloucestershire, England in the 1870s, they
continued to play this 'Poona' badminton game.

15. In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort held a lawn party
in his country place, called Badminton House.
A game of Poona was played on that day and it
became popular among the elite people of
British society. The new party sport became
known as "the Badminton game" and started to
grow popular.
