Chengdu - China won the Thomas Cup title for the eleventh time after beating Indonesia with a score of 3-1 in the final which took place at home, Chengdu, Sunday 5 May. This victory was won after the second double pair of China, He Ji Ting/Ren Xiang Yu, defeated Muhammad Shohibul Fikri/Bagas Maulana from Indonesia with a score of 21-11 and 21-15.

China confirmed the advantage with this convincing victory, and they also managed to juxtapose the Thomas Cup and Uber Cup after previously the Chinese Women's Uber team defeated the Indonesian Uber team with a score of 3-0 in the Uber Cup final.

Meanwhile, Indonesia failed again in the last two finals after losing to Thomas India's team in 2022. Nevertheless, Indonesia is still the holder of the most titles with 14 times winning the Thomas Cup title since it was first held in 1949.

Indonesia won the Thomas Cup in 1958, 1961, 1964, 1970, 1973, 1976, 1979, 1984, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, and finally in 2020. Indonesia has also been runners-up in the Thomas Cup 8 times.

This is a repeat of the 7th Thomas Cup final between Indonesia and China, which emphasizes the strong competition between the two Asian badminton powers.

China's brilliant victory in the 2024 Thomas Cup marked their success in sealing their dominance in men's and women's team badminton.
