Asian Games Team Badminton Draw Results: Less Lucky Women's Team, Meet China At The Beginning

Draw for the 2023 Asian Games badminton sport Hangzhou, China. The draw was held on Wednesday, September 27, 2023/PBSI

JAKARTA The Indonesian women's team badminton team immediately faced China according to the results of the draw which was completed at Binjiang Gymnasium, Hangzhou, Wednesday, September 27, 2023.

China and Indonesia will clash in the quarter-finals. Both of them got an empty draw in the round of 16.

On Chinese paper, it is clearly a troublesome opponent for Indonesian women's teams. The reason is, they are the first seeds as well as hosts for the four-year prestigious event which was delayed due to the corona pandemic.

"Of course this is a match that must be full of hard work. There is no need to be afraid, remain optimistic in competing," said Indonesian Badminton Team Manager Eddy Prayitno.

Meanwhile, in the men's team, Indonesia, which occupies the first seed, is still waiting for opponents for the quarter-finals, namely the winner between Korea and Malaysia.

"In the men's team, we will always be aware of the opponent. Whoever the opponent is between Korea or Malaysia must be ready. Because we have prepared everything well, we have also learned the strengths of the opponent," said Eddy.

"We hope that support and prayers will still be present from the Indonesian people for us to go through one step in this quarter-final," he added.

The 2023 Asian Games badminton branch will start on Thursday, September 28 tomorrow. However, the Indonesian men's and women's teams will only compete on Friday, September 29 in the quarter-finals.
