Wikipedia - Sudirman Cup

The Sudirman Cup is an international badminton mixed team competition contested by member countries of the Badminton World Federation (BWF), the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every two years since the inaugural tournament in 1989. It used to be held at the same venue for the World Championships in the same year until the International Badminton Federation (now the BWF) decided to split the two tournaments starting from 2003. There are five matches in every Sudirman Cup tie which consists of men and women's singles, men and women's doubles and mixed doubles. The cup is named after Sudirman, a former Indonesian badminton player. The current champion is China, which won its 13th title at the 2023 tournament in China.

There is no prize money in Sudirman Cup; players play for their respective countries and to earn BWF World Ranking points and national prestige.

Sudirmanov pohár je medzinárodný bedmintonový turnaj družstiev zmiešaných tímov, ktorý sa koná každé dva roky. Turnaj organizuje Badmintonová svetová federácia (BWF) a je pomenovaný po Dickovi Sudirmanovi, bývalom prezidentovi Indonézskej badmintonovej asociácie, ktorý bol tiež prezidentom Medzinárodnej badmintonovej federácie (IBF) od roku 1955 do 1957. Prvý turnaj Sudirmanovho pohára sa uskutočnil v roku 1989 v indonézskej Jakarte. Najúspešnejším tímom v histórii turnaja je Čína, ktorá získala Pohár Sudirman 11-krát. Súčasným držiteľom titulu je Čína, ktorá na turnaji zvíťazila v roku 2019.
