The Qatari national volleyball team will kick off their journey in the Asian Volleyball Challenge Cup on Monday, facing off against South Korea in a Group C match. The tournament is currently being held in Bahrain and will run until June 10.
Qatar aim to secure a positive result in their opening match, which would provide a significant morale boost for the team’s campaign in this continental tournament. The Asian Volleyball Challenge Cup also serves as a qualifier for the World Volleyball Challenge Cup, where the Qatari team finished as runners-up last year when Doha hosted the event.
Led by Argentine head coach Camilo Soto, the Qatari squad comprises 14 players: Youssef Iglaf, Renan Ribeiro, Mubarak Dhahi, Papy Majeed, Ibrahim Saeed, Boby, Ahmed Abdulwahab, Bilal Nabil, Andrea Luiz, Mohammed Al-Waleed, Naji Mahmoud, Nikola, Ghanem Al-Rumaihi, Rahimi, and Didi.
Qatar is placed in Group C along with South Korea and Indonesia. Group A consists of Thailand, Kazakhstan, and Pakistan; Group B includes Bahrain,
the Philippines, and China; and Group D features Vietnam, Australia, and Chinese Taipei.
