Qualification process

World team rankings

In June 2012, the Badminton World Federation announced that the continental qualifiers would be temporarily scrapped. [1] Therefore, the qualification of every national team for the 2014 Thomas Cup was determined based on their national ranking. The Netherlands, Poland and Sweden withdrew from the qualification process. [2]
