Sudirman Cup 2023: Indonesia, Malaysia, China, and Singapore announce squads

The heavyweights have revealed who makes the cut for the tournament.

The Sudirman Cup 2023 is set to be held from May 14 to May 21, 2023 in Suzhou China. A total of 16 countries are set to take part in the 18th edition of the mixed team championship. Initially, New Delhi was awarded the hosting of the championship back in November 2018 but in July 2021, it was announced that Suzhou, the original host for 2021 edition, will host this edition instead and India accepted the offer to host 2026 BWF World Championships in exchange.

The 16 teams are divided into four groups and each group consists of four teams. The top two teams from each group advance to the quarter-finals. China being the host, qualified directly to the tournament whereas other countries had to battle in their respective continental events and book a spot. The teams which did not qualify via the continental championships got through via their superior World Rankings.
