　　The Thomas Cup and Uber Cup badminton team competitions were originally scheduled to be held in 2020, but due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, they were finally postponed to this year.

　　As a traditional strong team in the world badminton, the Chinese badminton team has created an extremely glorious history in these two events.

Among them, in the Thomas Cup, the Chinese men's team has won the championship ten times and achieved five consecutive championships from 2004 to 2012.

In the 2018 Thomas Cup final, the Chinese men's team defeated Japan 3:1 and won the championship.

　　In the history of the Uber Cup, the Chinese women's team has won 14 championships, and respectively created six consecutive championships and five consecutive championships.

However, in the last Uber Cup, the Chinese women's team, which was in the alternation of old and new, regrettably stopped in the semi-finals.

In this event, under the leadership of the new Olympic women's singles champion Chen Yufei, the team will once again attack the champion.
