HUELVA, THE CITY OF BADMINTON
HUELVA, THE CITY OF BADMINTON
Huelva, a port city in the southwest of Spain, will be once again a meeting point for different
cultures, hosting the World Badminton Championships from November 28th to December
19th. Carolina Marín Sports Palace, where the championship will take place, is a sports
venue whose name pays tribute to the Huelva-born player three times world champion.
The history of badminton in Huelva
The first badminton initiation school was born in Huelva in the 80s in a small gym belonging
to “La Orden” High School, directed by Paco Ojeda. Three years later, after its success, the
Badminton Club “I.B La Orden” was founded in order to train people so that they could
manage to become champions. However, Huelva became famous when Carolina Marín, a
member of the club, won the medal for the first European Champion. Not once, but she got
the same medal twice.
A city of discovery full of magic
Huelva, Colombian land par excellence, is located in the southwest of Spain. It is bathed by
the Atlantic Ocean. The Costa de la Luz stretches from the mouth of the Guadiana River,
between Spain and Portugal, to the mouth of the Guadalquivir River. This is an extension
where we can find landscapes formed by a combination of white sand beaches, dunes and
pine forests.
The province of Huelva has a temperate climate throughout the year. This climate is known
as continental Mediterranean. It offers hot and arid summers and cool and partially cloudy
winter with temperatures around 22ºC.
