KUALA LUMPUR, May 16 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has congratulated the national sepak takraw squad for clinching the Asian Cup 2025 regu title after defeating Thailand 2-0 in the final at Stadium Titiwangsa yesterday.
Ahmad Zahid said the victory was a repeat of the nation’s triumph at the 2024 World Cup and expressed hope that the national squad will continue to progress and achieve more success on the world stage.
“Congratulations, our sepak takraw heroes! Alhamdulillah, once again we witnessed Malaysia defeating Thailand to lift the title — this time in the regu final of the Asian Cup 2025.
“Thousands of fans turned up at Stadium Titiwangsa to support the national team, represented by Syahir Rosdi (tekong), Mohamad Azlan Alias (striker) and Farhan Adam (feeder), who delivered a spirited and energetic performance to overcome our traditional rivals,” he said in a social media post today.
