India Wins 4 Medals In International Sepak Takraw Federation 2022

India finished the International Sepak Takraw Federation World Cup 2022 match with 4 medals. The tournament was held in South Korea from 25-29 November.

Sepak Takraw is a team sport which is similar to Volleyball. But in this game, players can’t hit the ball with their hands. They can only use their feet, knees, shoulders, chest and head to touch the ball.

Sepak Takraw has been a part of Asian Games since 1990 and has been dominated by South East and East Asian nations.

India has shown wonderful progress in recent times and won their first medal in the 2018 edition of the continental event.
