Badminton was one of the two demonstration sports at the 1958 Asian Games in Tokyo.[1] The events were held for three days, from 29 to 31 May 1958. There was only one event held and that was the men's team event.[2]
Originally four countries took part in the event. These four countries were the Republic of China, Thailand, the Philippines and hosts Japan. The Philippines later withdrew their team from the event.[3] The host nation, Japan won first place in the men's team event.[4] Thailand finished as runners-up while the Republic of China finished in third place.[5][6]
Thailand sent their backup players to participate in the event due to the main squad's preparation for the 1958 Thomas Cup.[7]
