Badminton World Federation

Badminton World Federation (BWF) är det internationella styrande organet för sporten badminton.

Det bildades 1934 som International Badminton Federation (IBF) med nio medlemsstater (Kanada, Danmark, England, Frankrike, Irland, Italien, Nederländerna, Nya Zeeland, Skottland och Wales). BWF har sedermera utökats till 165 medlemsländer. Nuvarande namn fick förbundet 24 september 2006, vid ett extra möte i Madrid. [1]

Ursprungligen låg huvudkontoret i Cheltenham, Storbritannien, men i oktober 2005 flyttade detta till Kuala Lumpur. Nuvarande president är Poul-Erik Høyer Larsen.[2]

Uppdrag

På förbundets webbplats [3] beskrivs huvudsyftet att främja, presentera, utveckla och reglera sporten över hela världen. Från juni 2011 organiserar förbundet också parabadminton.

BWF samarbetar med fem regionala styrande organ i sitt arbete för badmintonsporten:[4]

Flag of the Dominican Republic.svg
Den Dominikanska republikens flagga består av ett vitt centrerat kors som sträcker sig hela vägen ut till flaggans kant. I mitten på korset sitter ett emblem med en bibel, ett gyllene kors och sex dominikanska flaggor. Emblemet är omgivet av olivkvistar och palmblad. Under emblemet står ”Republica Dominicana” och ovanför ett band med landets mottot ”Dios, Patria, Libertad” (”Gud, Landet, Frihet”).
Flag of Jamaica.svg
Flag of Jamaica. “The sunshine, the land is green, and the people are strong and bold” is the symbolism of the colours of the flag. GOLD represents the natural wealth and beauty of sunlight; GREEN represents hope and agricultural resources; BLACK represents the strength and creativity of the people. The original symbolism, however, was "Hardships there are, but the land is green, and the sun shineth", where BLACK represented the hardships being faced.

Flag of Iran.svg
Flag of Iran. The tricolor flag was introduced in 1906, but after the Islamic Revolution of 1979 the Arabic words 'Allahu akbar' ('God is great'), written in the Kufic script of the Qur'an and repeated 22 times, were added to the red and green strips where they border the white central strip and in the middle is the emblem of Iran (which is a stylized Persian alphabet of the Arabic word Allah ("God")).
The official ISIRI standard (translation at FotW) gives two slightly different methods of construction for the flag: a compass-and-straightedge construction used for File:Flag of Iran (official).svg, and a "simplified" construction sheet with rational numbers used for this file.
Flag of Chinese Taipei for Olympic games.svg
Chinese Taipei Olympic Flag. According to the official website of Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee, Blue Sky(circle) & White Sun(triangles) above the Olympic rings is neither the National Emblem of the Republic of China, nor the Party Emblem of Kuomintang (KMT), but a design in between, where the triangles do not extend to the edge of the blue circle, as registered at International Olympic Committee in 1981 and digitally rendered in 2013. Besides, the blue outline of the five-petaled plum blossom is broader than the red one. Moreover, the CMYK code of the blue one and the Blue Sky & White Sun is "C100-M100-Y0-K0", and different from the Olympic rings (C100-M25-Y0-K0). Note that it's the only version recognized by IOC.
