The 2022 ISTAF World Cup (Korean: 2022 ISTAF 세팍타크로 월드컵) was the third edition of the ISTAF World Cup, held from November 25-29, 2022, at the Daejeon Hanbat Sports Complex in Daejeon, South Korea. The tournament was conducted by the International Sepaktakraw Federation (ISTAF) in collaboration with the South Korea Sepak Takraw Association and the Daejeon Metropolitan Sports Association. Originally, the event was scheduled to be held in October 2019 in Goa, India, but was postponed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the venue was also relocated to Daejeon, South Korea.
Thirteen ISTAF membership countries were confirmed to participate, making it the lowest number of participating nations since the tournament's inception in 2011. The game consisted of three categories, including men's, women's, and mixed, of which the first two categories were conducted in the group tournament ranking system and were additionally divided into two events: regu and quadrant, while the mixed only happened in the quadrant event and was played in the round-robin system. Due to a large number of participating teams, the men's category was further divided based on the previous tournament's performances into two divisions, including Division 1 (D1) and the Premier Division (PM).
Thailand won the tournament with four gold medals in all of the premier division's events they participated in, followed by the United States, which won all of the two events in the division 1 segment, and India was ranked third by winning one in the mixed quadrant.
