Sepak takraw or Takraw is a sport native to Southeast Asia, resembling volleyball, except that a rattan ball is used and players are only allowed to use their feet, knee, chest and head to play the ball.

It is a very popular sport in Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Laos, Australia, Philippines and Indonesia.

The Asian Sepak Takraw Federation (ASTAF) has proposed the sport to be included in the Olympic Games in 2020 after making a successful debut at the Asian Beach Games.

"With such a success, we are planning to introduce the sport to the Olympic Games in 2020," ASTAF President Abdul Halim was quoted as saying on Friday by the Jakarta Post daily.

"Starting now, of course, we have to promote the sport in order to fulfil the requirement that 75 to 80 countries play sepak takraw," he added.

Halim said that people in 45 countries and regions worldwide now play sepak takraw and ASTAF is urging powerhouses likeThailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore to help promote the sport.

"It is reasonable that 20 coaches from those countries will be sent to undeveloped sepak takraw countries to support the promotion program," he said.
