Asian Cup Sepak Takraw: Country's 34-year wait for team regu title continues after 0-2 loss to Thailand
THE country's 34-year wait for the national sepak takraw squad to emerge as champions in the team regu event continued after a 0-2 defeat to traditional arch-rivals Thailand in the final of the 2025 Asian Cup Sepak Takraw Championship at Stadium Titiwangsa here today. The result witnessed on home soil meant the national squad had to concede the title again, thus only managing to secure two trophies in the quadrant and regu events respectively in this inaugural edition of the championship. The last time Malaysia emerged as champions in the team event was at the 1991 Manila SEA Games, and since then, the national squad has faced a long wait to break the dominance of the White Elephants in the sport of sepak takraw. In the match played in front of over 1,000 supporters who filled every corner of the championship venue, the squad coached by Ahmad Jais Baharun fielded the first regu of Amirul Zazwan Amir (feeder), Mohammad Syahir Mohd Rosdi (tekong), and Mohamad Azlan Alias (killer), who lost 11-15, then were forced to sweat to come back and tie the score at 15-12 but ultimately succumbed to a 15-17 defeat to Thailand. While high hopes were placed on the nation's second regu of Farhan Adam, Muhammad Haziq Hairul Nizam, and Muhammad Noraizat Mohd Nordin to stage a comeback against the Thai regu of Sittipong Kamchan, Tanaphon Sapyen, and Sirisak Anuloon, they managed to record a 15-13 victory in the first set but lost 13-15 in the second and 4-15 in the deciding game. The defeat also saw Malaysia fail to take revenge against the rival in the same event at the 2024 World Sepak Takraw Championship. Team captain Farhan Adam, when met after the match, stated that the result was somewhat disappointing but Malaysia fought as hard as possible and will rise to take revenge at the King's Cup in Thailand next July. 'Actually, all the players had instilled in themselves a desire to end the long drought, but it was unsuccessful,' he said. India and South Korea shared third placing.

Malaysian regu down Thais to clinch Asian Cup title
Published on: Saturday, May 17, 2025 Published on: Sat, May 17, 2025 Text Size: The national squad pose with the trophy after winning the regu final against Thailand. KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia continued to prove its dominance over sepak takraw giants Thailand by emerging as the regu champions in the Asian Sepak Takraw Championship 2025 at Titiwangsa Stadium here on Thursday night. The Malaysian trio led by Farhan Adam (feeder), Mohammad Syahir Mohd Rosdi (tekong), and Mohamad Azlan Alias (killer), maintained Malaysia's status as a traditional rival after dominating much of the game for about an hour, defeating the team from the White Elephant country, 15-12 and 15-9 in the inaugural edition of the tournament.

In the first set, Malaysia started the match excellently with most of the serves perfectly executed by Mohammad Syahir, forcing Thailand to concede to the strength of the national squad. Thailand led by Yodsawat Uthaijaronsri (feeder), Sittipong Khamchan (tekong), and Varayut Jantarasena (killer) were in desperate need of a win in the second set, thus employing various tactics in the hope of dragging the match to a deciding set, but all their attacks were neutralised by the Malaysian trio, thus confirming a stylish victory. Meanwhile, Mohammad Syahir, when met after the match, described the unexpected victory as surprising, and admitted that he was not at his best performance during the early rounds of the team event. Advertisement 'Thank God we won 2-0, but there are still many weaknesses to fix in terms of serve; we hope that with the time we have, we can improve to face Thailand in the team event,' he said. This is the second victory for the national squad in the tournament, having also made history by winning the quadrant event on Monday.

Malaysia Can Dethrone Thailand In SEA Games Regu Event
KUALA LUMPUR, May 16 (Bernama) -- The national sepak takraw squad is on the right track to win gold in the regu event at the SEA Games in Thailand at the end of this year, said Malaysian Sepaktakraw Association president Datuk Mohd Sumali Reduan. His confidence has been boosted by the national squad's success in winning the regu event at the Sepak Takraw Asian Cup 2025 here yesterday. 'Our target is of course gold, since our regu team has already won multiple times in the tournaments they've participated in. bootstrap slideshow 'However, it won't be easy because we have to remember that we'll be playing away, and in Thailand the environment will definitely be different. So the chances of us getting gold are 50-50,' he told reporters yesterday. Thailand are the SEA Games regu defending champions. Earlier, Malaysia made headlines by defeating arch-rivals Thailand 2-0 in the Asian Cup regu final at Titiwangsa Stadium. The national trio of Farhan Adam (feeder), Mohammad Syahir Mohd Rosdi (tekong) and Mohamad Azlan Alias (striker) had little trouble winning 15-12, 15-9, giving Malaysia their second title in the Asian Cup. Mohd Sumali said he was pleased to see the regu squad maintaining their fine form following their triumph at last year's World Cup. He hoped that the momentum would carry through to the team regu event, which kicked off today. 'Of course, winning the Asian Cup is no easy feat. But I told the players to set aside that victory for now because we have a bigger mission — to chase a third title at the Asian Cup. I hope the players can stay focused on achieving that mission,' he said.
