The press conference was led by Putera Sampoerna, the chairman of PT HM Sampoerna Tbk which is the manufacturer of A Mild, the 5th Indonesian largest cigarette brand. A Mild was also the main sponsor of the 1996 Thomas and Uber Cup. The opening and closing ceremony of the tournament was led by Putera Sampoerna.
Indonesia were champions of both the Thomas Cup and the Uber Cup. The men's team defeated Denmark 5–0 in the final to win their tenth Thomas Cup title while the women's team won their third Uber Cup title by defeating China 4–1 in the final.[2][3]
