The 1988 Thomas Cup & Uber Cup was the 15th tournament of Thomas Cup and the 12th tournament of Uber Cup, the most important badminton team competitions in the world. [1] The tournament was held from 23 May to 4 June 1988 at Stadium Negara in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
China won its third title in the Thomas Cup and in the Uber Cup, after beating in the final round Malaysia and Korea, respectively. [2]
In January 1987, Malaysia submitted their bid to host the Thomas and Uber Cup to the IBF following their success of hosting the World Badminton Grand Prix Finals in December 1986. [3] [4] The bid was later finalized on 6 October 1987 after IBF president Ian Palmer agreed to accept a flat US$75,000 and drop their demand on a 50-50 split on gate collection. [5]
Kuala Lumpur was chosen as the host city for the tournament and Stadium Negara was chosen as the tournament venue.
Malaysia qualified automatically for both the Thomas Cup and the Uber Cup as hosts. China also qualified for both the Thomas Cup and the Uber Cup as trophy holders.
