Malaysia is determined to win two gold medals in the 2026 Asian Games' sepak takraw events, according to PSM president Datuk Mohd Sumali Reduan. The CDM admitted that the pressure of achieving this goal is significant, but he emphasized that it will not be easy. Malaysia has not won a gold medal in men's regulation since the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta-Palembang, while the men's team regulation victory occurred in Beijing, China, during the 1990 Asian Games.
The Malaysian team will face strong competition from Indonesia, Vietnam, and Japan, who have shown remarkable skill in international competitions. Despite this, Reduan is confident in the experience of his players and does not anticipate any major issues. The Asian Games are scheduled to take place from September 19 to October 4 in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan.
