King's Cup Sepaktakraw World Championship

The King's Cup Sepak Takraw 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.

In 1985, the first King's Cup tournament was held in Bangkok Thailand where Malaysia emerged as the inaugural 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.
