The Philippines won its best-ever result in sepak takraw at the Asian Games on 29 September, when the women's double team of Jean Marie Sucalit, Abegail Sinogbuhan, and Nelly Jay Salon claimed a silver medal at the Nagoya City Mizuho Park Gymnasium in Japan. The trio fell to Vietnam in the final by 15–8, 15–4, but the result surpasses all previous Philippine finishes in the sport since sepak takraw (a Southeast Asian sport in which players use their feet and body to volley a rattan ball over a net) entered the Asian Games in 1990. The men's regu squad also secured a bronze on 28 September, giving the Philippines two sepak takraw medals at a single Asian Games for the first time.
