Cambodia to host disabled volleyball World Cup

July 19, 2007

Cambodia will host the disabled volleyball World Cup between November 24 and December 2, according to the Cambodian National Volleyball League on Thursday.

Altogether 12 countries, including Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Canada, are expected to attend the tournament, according to the League.

Organizers hoped the match to raise global awareness of the landmine issue, as most of Cambodia's team members were landmine victims.

Cambodia's disabled volleyball team ranks No. 1 in Asia and No. 4 in the world.
