Welcome to the Badminton Club OMS

Badminton Club OMS is a welcoming badminton club based in Geneva, Switzerland, bringing together an international community of players.

We play regularly, stay active, and enjoy badminton in a friendly, supportive environment—whether you come to compete, improve your game, or simply play for fun.

About our Club

Founded in 2004 by members of the World Health Organization (WHO) community, Badminton Club OMS grew out of a simple idea: bringing people together through regular badminton, physical activity, and a strong sense of community.

Discover the club’s story, its link to WHO, and what makes BC OMS a uniquely international badminton club in Geneva.

About badminton

"Badminton is often underestimated, yet it is one of the most demanding and exhilarating sports you can play. It calls for concentration, speed, strength, endurance and tactical thinking—all within a fast‑paced and highly social game. At Badminton Club O.M.S., we celebrate this unique mix. Whether you play to compete, to stay fit, or simply for the joy of the game, our club is a place to challenge yourself, improve together, and share great moments on court. I warmly invite you to join us and experience what badminton truly has to offer."
