China Aims for 14th BWF Sudirman Cup Title

China seeks its 14th BWF Sudirman Cup title, with PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen leading India`s challenge.

The TotalEnergies BWF Sudirman Cup Finals 2025 is currently taking place in Xiamen, China, from April 27 to May 4. The host nation, China, is on a quest to extend its record with a 14th title, having dominated the tournament by winning the last three editions since 2019. The Chinese team features an impressive roster, including Olympic champions such as Chen Yufei, Chen Qingchen, Jia Yifan, and Huang Dongping in the women`s category, alongside world No. 1 Shi Yuqi leading the men`s singles.

This year`s tournament showcases 16 teams competing in various categories, including men`s and women`s singles, doubles, and mixed doubles. India faces a formidable challenge in the competition, particularly due to the absence of key doubles pairs and being placed in the so-called "Group of Death," which includes powerhouse teams like Indonesia, Denmark, and England. The Indian squad is heavily reliant on singles stars PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen to secure victories, but they encounter significant hurdles in doubles matches against tough opponents like Indonesia and Denmark.
