Ultimate Badminton League continues to expand, and for the first time ever, Wales will be represented by the Newport Dragons in Season 5. Led by Raj Popat, the driving force behind Newport Badminton Academy, the Dragons arrive with a clear vision of developing talent while showcasing Welsh badminton on one of the UK's biggest team stages. Their entry marks a significant milestone, giving Wales its first-ever representative in the competition.

Raj Popat has built Newport Badminton Academy into one of the country's most respected training environments, helping players of all ages and abilities develop their game. With a strong coaching philosophy, a thriving badminton community, and a commitment to nurturing future stars, the academy has become a cornerstone of badminton in South Wales.

Season 5 promises to be the biggest and most competitive yet, but the Newport Dragons won't just be making up the numbers. Backed by an established academy, passionate supporters, and the pride of representing Wales, they have the opportunity to make an immediate impact. As the countdown begins, all eyes will be on the Dragons to see if they can write a memorable first chapter in Welsh Ultimate Badminton League history.
