The players thus become friends with the counterparts in Hungary.

The Chiese Taipei SepakTakraw Fedration was founded only 8 years ago. It’s now actively promoting SepakTakraw, a sport originated from South East Asia. There’s a SepakTakraw Tournament held in Thailand every year, and the Taiwanese team have been doing well in the game, boasting Golden Medals for a double match and a group game. The team is especially grateful for the companies that supported that and hope to work together in the future.
