The Indian men's badminton team has been drawn to face Chinese Taipei in the quarter-finals of the BWF Thomas Cup Finals, following a knockout draw held in Horsens. India, the defending champions, finished second in Group A, securing their place in the quarter-finals with victories over Canada (4-1) and Australia (5-0), but suffered a close 3-2 defeat against China in their final group match. Chinese Taipei faced a challenging path to the quarter-finals, needing a win against Denmark, who only required one match victory to advance. In other quarter-final matchups, defending champions China, who topped Group A, will take on Malaysia, while Group B leaders Japan will compete against France, who notably eliminated pre-tournament favorites Indonesia.
