Why This Matters: Indonesia’s Quest for Glory
The 2026 Thomas & Uber Cup is the 34th edition of the Thomas Cup (men’s) and the 31st edition of the Uber Cup (women’s), hosted by Denmark. Indonesia, a perennial powerhouse in team badminton, aims to continue its tradition of success. The tournament runs from April 24 to May 3, 2026, with Horsens serving as the epicenter of shuttlecock action.
For Indonesia, the stakes are high. The men’s team, led by Christie and Ginting, seeks to defend their 2024 Thomas Cup title, while the women’s team, anchored by Greysia Polii, aims to reclaim the Uber Cup after a disappointing 2024 showing.
