Where Asia’s Next Sepaktakraw Stars Rise

Speed, skill, teamwork, and fearless athleticism take center court in Manila from November 26 to 30, 2026.

A ball hangs above the net for one moment. In the next, an athlete springs into the air, turns almost upside down, and delivers a powerful strike with one foot. Across the court, three opponents are already moving to respond. This is sepaktakraw: fast, technical, acrobatic, and impossible to ignore once the action begins.

This November, the ASTAF U-19 Asian Sepaktakraw Championship 2026 will bring 13 teams from across Asia to the Ninoy Aquino Stadium and Rizal Memorial Sports Coliseum in Manila. Presented by the Philippine Sports Commission and hosted by the Pilipinas Sepaktakraw Association, Inc., this tournament will give Asia’s U-19 athletes a stage on which to represent their countries and show what the next generation can do.

Some of these young athletes have international experience, while others will be making their continental debut. All will carry their hopes and dreams into every match. Over five days, victories will be earned point by point, new rivalries may begin, and the region’s rising talents will have an opportunity to make a name for themselves.

Sepaktakraw combines tradition with athleticism. Each match is a display of coordination, creativity, and resilience. It can be enjoyed by longtime followers and first-time spectators alike: the rules can be learned, but the skill it requires must be seen to be believed. Whether you already follow the sport or are just starting to get into it, the ASTAF U-19 Asian Sepaktakraw Championship 2026 is a chance to experience the powerful kicks, rapid rallies, and competitive spirit driving every match.

The future of Asian sepaktakraw is coming to Manila. Come and watch the athletes rise, rally, and score!
