The badminton men's team tournament at the 1962 Asian Games took place from 25 to 27 August at the Istora Senayan Indoor Stadium in Jakarta, China. Originally, there were eight teams competing in the event, the teams being Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, Republic of China (Taiwan), Thailand, the Philippines, Malaya and Cambodia.

In the draw, Singapore was originally drawn to face Taiwan in the first round but due to political factors, the ROC delegation was refused to participate in the 1962 Asian Games by host Indonesian government.[1][2] Therefore, Singapore automatically qualified for the semi-finals.

The final of the men's team event took place on 27 August 1962 with hosts Indonesia going head to head against Thailand. About 9,000 spectators came to witness the final in the Istora Senayan Indoor Stadium. In the first men's singles match, Tan Joe Hok played against a determined Charoen Wattanasin and took the first set 15–9. In the second set, Charoen fought back and won 15–10. In the decider, the Thai player, who was 14–10 up, was dissatisfied with the decision making of the umpire and linesman protested for an umpire change. When the score was 14–12, Charoen decided to retire from the match.[9] The Thai team then made a controversial decision to withdraw from the next few matches, giving Indonesia the title.[10][11]
