JAKARTA Men's doubles specialist, Fajar Alfian, is very optimistic that Indonesia will be able to meet the target of bringing home the 2024 Thomas Cup title.

The men's team championship will take place at the Chengdu High-tech Zone Sports Center Gymnasium, China, from Saturday, April 27, 2024, to May 5, 2024.

"In my opinion, the Indonesian men's team has sufficient opportunity to win the 2024 Thomas Cup again," Fajar said in a statement received.

Fajar left with nine other badminton players to face the 2024 Thomas Cup.

He was previously part of the winning squad in the 2020 edition, whose events were shifted to 2021 due to the corona pandemic.

Apart from Fajar, nine other names in the men's squad for the 2024 Thomas Cup were Jonatan Christie, Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo, Alwi Farhan, Muhammad Rian Ardianto, Bagas Maulana, Muhammad Shohibul Fikri, Leo Rolly Carnando, and Daniel Marthin.

"With cooperation and cohesiveness, I think there is a chance, both in singles and doubles. Our strength is evenly distributed. We are ready to fight whoever is chosen to go down," said Fajar.

Fajar and his friends will start the struggle from Group C against England.

In the Thomas Cup, Indonesia is still the country with the most title collections, namely 14 trophies.
