The 27th August 2019 will go in the history books between Sepaktakraw and UTS as they consolidated their partnership by signing a memorandum of understanding as part of the Septakraw Kings Cup Tournament 2019 in Bangkok.
UTS and ISTAF have already been working together with unified goals leading up to the SportAccord Convention 2018 in Bangkok, Thailand.
Under this relationship, both parties have committed to continue working together promoting sport as a unique and powerful platform towards social change and towards encouraging an active and inclusive lifestyle for youth.
