The BWF President has issued an invitation for Indonesia to host the 2027 Sudirman Cup and the 2028 Tongyou Cup

BWF President Patama of Thailand has offered Indonesia an invitation to host the 2027 Sudirman Cup and the 2028 Thomas and Uber Cups. The proposal was made by Patama during a personal visit to Indonesia's new Indonesia Arena on June 8, which was conceived as the venue for future events.

The Sudirman Cup has not been held in Indonesia since the first edition of the Sudirman Cup was held in 1989 at the Istora Senayan Stadium in Jakarta

"On this occasion, Patama expressed his hope that Indonesia will host two major BWF tournaments – the Sudirman Cup 2027 and the Thomas Cup and Uber Cup 2028," according to the official website of the Indonesian Ministry of Youth and Sports. She made the proposal after a site visit to the facilities of the Indonesian Arena. ”

Showcasing Indonesia's strength as a world sports hub. In this regard, Indonesia's Minister of Youth and Sports Dito gave a positive response. He expressed confidence that the Indonesian Stadium would be able to host such a high-profile badminton event, "This is a great opportunity to showcase Indonesia's strength as a world sports hub, especially in badminton, a sport that we are proud of." ”

Next year's Tongyou Cup will be hosted by Denmark's Hosens, while Indonesia last hosted the Tongyou Cup in 2008. The picture shows China regaining the Tang Cup championship in 2024.

If the Sudirman Cup finally settles in Indonesia, it will be a historic moment. The inaugural Sudirman Cup was held in 1989 at the Istora Senayan Stadium in Jakarta.

The last time Indonesia hosted the Tongyou Cup was in 2008. In fact, the Indonesian Stadium has been proposed as a venue for international badminton events many times, including the Indonesia Badminton Masters and the Indonesia Open Badminton Championships. However, due to technical constraints, it was not moved to the Indonesian Stadium as scheduled, and in the end, the Sinayang Stadium was still the preferred home stadium to continue to host international badminton events.
