Badminton made its debut in GANEFO (Games of New Emerging Forces) in 1963 and was one of the main sports in the multi-sport event. The sport was contested for a second time in the 1966 GANEFO in Phnom Penh, Cambodia (1st Asian GANEFO) prior to the collapse of the GANEFO organization in the 1970s. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Since the Chinese national badminton team were not able to compete in international events in the 1960s due to not being affiliated with the International Badminton Federation, the Chinese team were only allowed to compete in GANEFO badminton events. The Games gave the Chinese team a platform to shine as Chinese players managed to reach the finals in every discipline. ^{[4] [5] [6] [7]}
