Nhat Nguyen was born on June 16, 2000, in Hanoi, Vietnam, and moved to Cavan, Ireland, with his family at the age of six. He later resided in Dublin, Ireland. His badminton career gained international recognition after he received his Irish passport and citizenship in 2017, which allowed him to compete overseas. Prior to this, he had already achieved success, notably becoming the gold medalist at the 2016 European U17 Championships in the boys’ singles event. In the same year, he earned a bronze medal in the doubles event alongside Paul Reynolds and secured the men’s singles title at the Irish National Championships.
Nguyen continued to build on his early achievements, winning his first senior international title at the Polish International in men’s doubles with Paul Reynolds in 2017. Later that year, he also claimed the men’s singles title at the Welsh International. His career progression includes representing Ireland in men’s singles at significant events such as the 2019 and 2023 European Games, as well as the 2024 Summer Olympics. He has consistently ranked within the top players globally, reaching a highest world ranking of 25 in men’s singles on December 27, 2022.
His continued dedication to the sport has resulted in multiple Irish Open titles in men’s singles, specifically in 2023 and 2024. These victories underscore his consistent performance and standing in the sport. He is coached by Iskandar Zulkarnain Zainuddin. Nhat is also the younger brother of Tham Nguyen Gough, who is Ireland’s first European Weightlifting Championships medalist.
