    Hi everyone have been hearing through other websites about a proposed world cup based like football to be run between the olympics anyone got any comments think it would be good would promote home and away fixtures for countrys giving the crowds a chance to support there national teams.

    I'm not sure if the travel expense can be justified. Consider the whole Chinese male or female team fly to England to play 5 matches like Thomas/Uber format, and then fly back. How much the host country can get from tickets?

    Hi you have missed the point there would be 3 or 4 groups in asia china would be seeded and would only play certain countrys within asia. europe would same play other european countrys 5 teams per group top 2 coming out going to world finals same as football world cup, north and south america could be 2 groups africa 2 groups this would cut the travel down and only the top teams would go through to finals.

    sorry meant to say it would be a mixed team event and would do away with suridam cup which is played every 2 years and which most teams cant afford to travel to as this year its in china.

    What's different between Sudirman Cup and World Team Cup?

    I think it should be as follows:

    ..................
    2012 Olympics
    2013 Uber Cup
    2014 Sudirman Cup
    2015 Thomas Cup
    2016 Olympics
    ..................

    the problem is sudirman cup is world team champ but all teams have to travel to wherever it is on and most teams cant afford to go so if it is run the same way as soccer world cup national teams would get the chance to play at home in front of there own fans matches could be played mid week which doesnt effect tournaments at weekends and asian teams would qualify in asia so not much travelling for them european teams would stay in europe until a certain amount of teams come out of qualifing to go to world cup finals

    Sudirman Cup can also have a Final Stage and Continent Stage like Thomas & Uber Cups.
