September 28 Sepak Takraw Competition

The tournament is ongoing, and on a critical day on 28th of September, it is Sepak Takraw being played. However, some disciplines may still have some preliminary/kindy matches to still play, while others might need to play knockout rounds or even medal matches as per the official tournament schedule.

Competition Format

In Asian Games 2026 in Aichi, Japan, there will be four Sepak Takraw events, which are played differently.

Team Regu

Team Regu is a team-based format where multiple three-player regus represent one country. Teams compete across several regu matches, and overall performance determines the winner.

Regu

The traditional (and most widely recognised) version of Sepak Takraw is Regu. There are three players per team, and a single match will be played between the two teams that will be based on their skillful kicking, heading, and coordinated attack.

Quadrant

In a change from the previous single-player vs. single-player game, Quadrant has introduced a four-player team system that adds more tactical options and substitutions, but delivers the same speed that has become a hallmark of Sepak Takraw.

Doubles

Two-player teams in the Double Basketball game make for shorter games, emphasizing the need for individual team communication, agility, and exact ball control during play.

Host Country

Japan is the proud host and the main host cities of the 20th Asian Games are Aichi Prefecture and Nagoya.
