According to E. Iskhakbaev, a senior teacher at the Physical Education and Sport department, badminton attracts an increasing number of students from year to year. The duel between two athletes or two pairs of players on a divided grid site is notable for its spectacularity and demonstration of dexterity and technical skill. It is noteworthy that since last year this sport was included in the program of competitions "Spartakiad" among foreign universities in the city of Tashkent.

Currently, the number of badminton players at the Branch of the Russian State University of Oil and Gas (NRU) named after I.M. Gubkin in Tashkent constitutes 20 students. In anticipation of prestigious competitions among students (boys and girls) held a qualifying tournament. According to the results of the competition, the top three prize winners among young men included: Jaloliddin Mirzaakhmedov (URG-19-01); Amir Abdusamatov (URN - 19-01); Dmitry Lomakin (UTS - 17-01), among the girls - Parizoda Sabirova (URN-19-02); Svetlana Dobychina (URN-19-02); Julia Kirichyok (URB-19-02). As a friendly parting word and support to the sport, all the winners of the “selection” were awarded diplomas signed by the Deputy Director - Executive Director of the Branch, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor A.M.
