JAKARTA Indonesia has only secured one title in the history of the Sudirman Cup, a mixed team tournament that will take place again this year.
The 2025 edition of the Sudirman Cup will take place from 27 April to 4 May 2025 at Fenghuang Gymnasium, Xiamen, China. A total of 16 countries participated in the prestigious tournament.
In the history of this tournament, only three countries have come out as champions. Apart from Indonesia, two other countries that have lifted trophies are China and South Korea.
China is the most successful country in the Sudirman Cup with a collection of 13 titles. They won their last title in the previous edition in 2023 while acting as hosts.

Meanwhile, South Korea trailed behind China with a collection of four titles. They won the second edition of 1991 in Denmark, 1993 edition in the UK, 2003 edition in the Netherlands, and 2017 edition in Australia.
Then, Indonesia only secured one title which was obtained in the first edition of 1989 in Jakarta. At that time the Red-White squad defeated South Korea to become champions.
A great opportunity to add to Indonesia's title in the three editions after that. Unfortunately, the Red-White Team lost twice against South Korea in the final and once against China.
Indonesia entered the final three times after that, namely in 2001 in Spain, 2005 in China, and 2007 in Scotland. However, Indonesia has always lost against China.
This year, Indonesia will start a journey from Group D with Denmark, England and India. Even though as the second seed, Indonesia's strength is clearly getting a tough test.
PBSI combines the strength of young and senior players to pursue the second title from the two-year event. If you look at the map of competition, Indonesia's steps will be tough.
