Vietnam`s women shine with historic gold at Sepak Takraw World Cup, while grassroots efforts flourish in the Philippines.

The Vietnamese women`s Sepak Takraw team has etched their name in history by clinching a gold medal in the Women`s 4-person Team event at the Sepak Takraw World Cup 2025 held in India. This monumental victory marks Vietnam`s first gold medal at a Sepak Takraw World Cup, shattering the long-standing dominance of Thailand in the sport. The team’s remarkable achievement has been recognized with Certificates of Merit, celebrating their dedication and skill on the international stage.

In a delightful twist, former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo was recently spotted enjoying Sepak Takraw recreationally, showcasing his athletic prowess in a beach setting. The sport, which demands agility and finesse as players utilize their feet, torso, and head, provided a refreshing outlet for the retired MMA star.

Meanwhile, in Davao City, Philippines, local government initiatives are fostering the growth of Sepak Takraw at the grassroots level. The distribution of training equipment, including nets and kicking pads, aims to enhance structured training sessions in schools, nurturing the next generation of players. Recent practice and match videos from Coimbatore, India, further highlight the sport`s vibrant community and competitive spirit.
