History of Uber Badminton Cup
Men are pioneers in many sporting events. The Uber Cup is no exception. The history of the Thomas Cup dates back to the early 50-ies of the last century, and it was not until 1948 that the first men’s badminton event was held.
Two years after the success of the Thomas Cup, British badminton player Betty Uber proposed to create and run a badminton championship for women.
The competition itself was not held until 1956-1957. In the first championship, the U.S. team defeated Denmark.
The Uber Cup, the main prize, was presented in 1956 during the first championship. This cup itself was made by renowned jewelers in London.
In the history of the Uber Cup, the Chinese national team is the leader in victories – on its account of 15 wins.
