{{Short description|Badminton championships}}
The '''African Badminton Championships''' is a tournament organized by the [[Badminton Confederation of Africa]] ('''BCA''') to crown the best [[badminton]] players in [[Africa]]. For the team event there is the African Badminton Cup of Nations. This is not to be confused with the [[All African Games]], the multi sports event, held every four years where badminton is included since 2003. 

This tournament started in 1979 where [[Kumasi]], Ghana held the competition.<ref>{{cite news |author=L.C.
