Indonesia's Schedule Facing South Korea in the 2026 Uber Cup Semifinal

JAKARTA - The Indonesian women's badminton squad managed to reach the semifinals of the 2026 Uber Cup. South Korea (South Korea) will also be the next test that Putri Kusuma Wardani and her friends must pass in the women's doubles event.

The meeting between Indonesia and South Korea will take place at the Horsens Forum, Horsens, Denmark, on Saturday, May 2, 2026. The series of matches will start at 10.00 local time or 15.00 WIB.

Indonesia and South Korea both passed the preliminary round with the status as group champions. Both of them managed to win all three matches played in their respective groups.

Then in the knockout round, Indonesia defeated the host Denmark, while South Korea sent Taiwan home. Both countries passed the test in the last eight with the same 3-1 victory over the opponent.

The clash between Indonesia and South Korea is a repeat of the 2024 Uber Cup semi-final which took place in Chengdu, China. At that time, Indonesia narrowly won 3-2 over Korea, which was strengthened by An Se Young, the current world number one badminton player.

An this year is back in the Korean squad, which automatically becomes a big challenge for the Indonesian women's singles. In addition, the Ginseng Country also has a women's doubles Baek Ha Na/Lee So Hee, who are currently ranked third in the world.

However, Indonesia is expected to still be able to provide resistance. Even if there is a gap in the two pillars of South Korea above, the Red-White squad has a great chance to take points in other matches.

The other semifinal match pitted Japan against China. With the status as defending champions, China is still very favored in this most prestigious women's doubles tournament.

In the previous edition, the two countries met in the semifinals as well. Japan at that time had to swallow the bitter pill of losing 0-3 so they had to be content with bringing home the bronze medal with South Korea.
