Sepak Takraw`s debut at Khelo India Youth Games 2025 highlights India`s growth in the sport after recent successes.

Sepak Takraw has made a remarkable entrance at the Khelo India Youth Games 2025, following India`s historic gold medal at the ISTAF World Cup. This inclusion signifies a transformative moment for the sport, elevating it from a niche activity to a prominent fixture in India`s sports scene. The momentum gained from India`s back-to-back medal wins in the 2018 and 2022 Asian Games has played a crucial role in this development.

Dr. Karunesh Kumar, a former India international and competition manager for KIYG Bihar 2025, described this moment as a "milestone" for increasing the sport`s visibility. Bihar`s unexpected emergence as a powerhouse in Sepak Takraw is attributed to the state government`s commitment, resulting in over 600 players participating across various districts. This surge in interest is set to enhance the competitive landscape of the sport in India.

In related news, the Melaka Titans are gearing up for Division 1 of the Sepak Takraw League (STL) 2025, with three star players joining the squad. The growth of Sepak Takraw within India and its rising popularity in other regions reflects the sport`s potential for broader recognition and success on the international stage.
