Thailand's sepak takraw community will continue to help drive the sport at the Asian level after Dr. Siha Sak Arirachakaran, Secretary General of the Sepak Takraw Association of Thailand, was elected unopposed as Deputy President of the Asian Sepak Takraw Federation (ASTAF). According to a statement from the ASTAF Congress secretariat on November 9, 2026, after nominations closed only two candidates were put forward for the two Deputy President posts: Dr. Siha Sak and Dato Mohammad Sumali Redwan from Malaysia, resulting in both being elected without a ballot. Meanwhile, Dato Abdul Halim Kader retains the ASTAF presidency for the 2027–2030 term after being the sole nominee. The positions of Vice President and Executive Committee members will still be decided by a vote at the ASTAF Congress set for December 9, 2026, in Bangkok.
