Indonesian national badminton squad are ready to be the champion at Sudirman Cup that will be held at Guangzhou, China on May, 10-17 2009. This will be the 11th Championship after the first one that held on Jakarta in 1989. That first Championship become the first and the last Championship that Indonesian squad ever win after beat South Korea on Final Match. In this 11th Championship Indonesia joined on 1B group, its the same group with England, Japan and the host, China. The other group or 1A group was filled with Denmark, South Korea, Hongkong and Malaysia. The two best squad will go to semi final round and the best two on semi final will reach The Final Round. The Indonesian squad was formed from all the best young player in Indonesia, so we will not see Taufik Hidayat, the Indonesian awesome player with his backhand smash technique at Indonesian squad for this Championship. Because this sport is so popular in Indonesia (besides football of course) there will be million of Indonesian people will see this championship on television or straight view at that badminton stadium.
