Indonesia secured a decisive 3-1 victory over hosts Denmark in the quarter-finals of the Uber Cup 2026. The high-stakes encounter, held in Horsens, Denmark, unfolded from Thursday night (April 30) through the early hours of Friday morning (May 1) WIB. With this commanding performance, the ‘Merah Putih’ squad has officially booked their place in the semi-finals.
The victory was built on three stellar performances from the Indonesian representatives, who outclassed their opponents with skill and determination. While Ni Kadek Dhinda Amartya Pratiwi faced a tough challenge and ultimately fell in the second match despite a spirited effort, the rest of the team remained clinical to seal the win for their nation.
By reaching the final four, the Indonesian Uber Cup team has successfully fulfilled the target set by the PBSI (Indonesian Badminton Association), which was to reach at least the semi-final stage. This keeps the momentum alive for Indonesia, who notably reached the grand final in last year’s tournament.
The Uber Cup 2026 semi-finals are scheduled for Saturday (May 2). Indonesia is currently awaiting the outcome of the match between South Korea and Taiwan, which was still in a heated battle at the time of this report, to determine their next opponent in the quest for the title.
