Who was the Uber Cup named after in international badminton?

The Uber Cup was named after Betty Uber in international badminton.

Betty Uber was an English badminton player and administrator who donated the trophy for a women's international team competition. The first Uber Cup tournament was held in 1957, and the event became the women's counterpart to the Thomas Cup.

The competition is played between national teams, with ties made up of singles and doubles matches.
