Kuala Lumpur was named as the host in October 1990 during an IBF Council meeting in Bangkok, Thailand.[2] Indonesia and China also submitted their bids to host the tournaments but did not succeed. However, Indonesia earned the right to host the 1994 Thomas & Uber Cup in Jakarta.
Qualification edit
Malaysia qualified automatically as hosts, while China qualified as the trophy holder.
