History

In February 2024, the president of the Sepaktakraw Association of Malaysia, Datuk Mohd Sumali Reduan, informed that 21 countries confirmed to join the tournament, 12 of which, namely Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea, Myanmar, Vietnam, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Japan, China, and the Philippines, was categorized for the Premier Division (PM), while the remaining 9 countries, including Sri Lanka, Saudi Arabia, France, Iran, Taiwan, Nepal, Pakistan, Germany, and Bangladesh, will compete in the Division 1 league (D1).[1]

The open ceremony and the draw happened on March 6, 2024, at the Tun Dr Ismail Hall in the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur.[1][5] No team event for the Division 1 league in this edition.[1] A new ranking calculation system, invented by the International Sepaktakraw Federation (ISTAF) to determine countries qualified for the international multi-sport events, will be introduced in the tournament.[2][6]
