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.[5][6][7] Twenty-six national teams from 17 ISTAF membership countries participated, with only three countries outside Asia, named Brazil, France, and Germany.[5] Brunei, Belgium, United Kingdom, South Korea, and the Philippines were early expected to join the competition but unfortunately absent for undisclosed reasons,[4][8] while Indonesia and Pakistan national team withdrew on the first day of the event.[5]

Thailand won first place in both men and women categories, Malaysia and Vietnam were ranked second in men's and women's events respectively. Meanwhile, the third-place of each category included two teams, India alongside Singapore in men's, and Iran together with Malaysia in women's.[6][7][9]
