USA Team in King's Cup World Championships

The King's Cup Sepaktakraw World Championship is a sepak takraw team event which is considered to be the most prestigious tournament in the sport as most top national teams compete in this annual event. The King's Cup is dedicated to His Majesty the King of Thailand. Three regus form a team and winning point is achieved once a team has the majority of two regu victories out of the three regus.

History[]

In 1985, the first King's Cup tournament was held in Bangkok Thailand where Malaysia emerged as the inaugural champions. Malaysia became champions again in 1988, [1] and the rest of the other editions saw Thailand as champions. The King's Cup tournament is seen by some, especially the Malaysians, as being unfair because it is never held outside of Thailand; hence, critics believe that the host nation is given an obvious upper hand and that the Asian Games are a fairer ground of competition.

25th King's Cup Sepaktakraw World Championship was held in the 700th Anniversary Stadium from July 27 to August 1, 2010 with 23 competition teams.[2] And 26th King's Cup Sepaktakraw World Championship was held in Fasionisland on 12-17 September, 2011 with 23 competition teams in 8 tournaments.[3]

Championships[]

In 1965, the Asian Sepaktakraw Federation (ASTAF) was formed to govern the sport in Asia, then in 1992 the International Sepaktakraw Federation (ISTAF) was formed as the world governing body for the sport. [4]
