Host selection

In January 1987, Malaysia submitted their bid to host the Thomas and Uber Cup to the IBF following their success of hosting the World Badminton Grand Prix Finals in December 1986.{{Cite news |last=Omar |first=Fauzi |date=1987-01-09 |title=Now for the big one |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3bsTAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA11&article_id=5320,2023510 |access-date=2024-08-18 |work=The Straits Times |pages=11}}{{Cite news |last=Devaraj |first=A. |date=1987-08-14 |title=BAM sweep out sweeping sum |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=R3tPAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA10&article_id=4892,2915670 |access-date=2024-08-18 |work=The Straits Times |pages=10}} The bid was later finalized on 6 October 1987 after IBF president Ian Palmer agreed to accept a flat US$75,000 and drop their demand on a 50-50 split on gate collection.{{Cite news |last=Devaraj |first=A. |date=1987-10-06 |title=Sealed: Deal to host finals |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XOM0AAAAIBAJ&pg=PA10&article_id=4787,1258398 |access-date=2024-08-18 |work=The Straits Times |pages=10}}
