Vietnam`s women’s Sepak Takraw team makes history with their first gold medal at the ISTAF World Cup, defeating Thailand.

In a groundbreaking moment for Sepak Takraw, the Vietnamese women`s team has clinched the gold medal in the Women`s 4-person Team event at the ISTAF World Cup 2025 held in India. This monumental victory not only marks Vietnam`s first gold at a Sepak Takraw World Cup but also shatters Thailand`s long-standing dominance in the sport. The team, which had previously secured five silver medals since 2011, has finally risen to the pinnacle of international competition, earning Certificates of Merit for their remarkable achievement.

Meanwhile, the Philippines showcased their resilience, earning a bronze medal after a fiercely contested match against Indonesia. The Filipino squad fought valiantly, nearly overcoming their opponents in the second set, but ultimately had to settle for third place. The competitive spirit displayed by both teams highlights the growing popularity and talent in Sepak Takraw across the region.

In addition to these international feats, local tournaments and practice matches continue to thrive, with doubles matches taking place in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. These events, while less prominent than the World Cup, contribute to the sport`s development and engagement at the grassroots level.
