The 2017 ISTAF World Cup is the second edition of the ISTAF World Cup, which was conducted by the International Sepaktakraw Federation (ISTAF). [1] [2] The competition was originally scheduled to be held in 2015 in Goa, India. [1] [3] However, due to a possible clash of dates with the 2015 King's Cup Sepaktakraw World Championship and the 2015 Southeast Asian Games, [3] [4] the tournament was later rescheduled and moved the venue to Hyderabad with the support of the India Sports Council. [1] The event was organised at G. M. C. Balayogi Indoor Stadium of Hyderabad, during 2–5 November 2017.
