Ten countries will participate in the 2nd West Asia Youth Volleyball Championship.
Qatar’s youth volleyball team left for the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday to participate in the 2nd West Asian Youth Volleyball Championship.
The competition will be held in the garden city of Al Ain from August 14 to August 25.
Qatar will play its opening match against Bahrain on August 16 under the guidance of Argentine coach Santiago Garcia.
Qatar will then face Kuwait on August 17, followed by matches against Yemen and Syria on the 19th and 20th.
Bahrain, Kuwait, Yemen and Syria will be drawn alongside Qatar in Group A of the ten-team tournament.
Group B, on the other hand, includes Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and hosts UAE.
The group stage will be followed by the quarter-finals, consisting of the top four teams from each group.
Under a new head coach, Qatar will aim to do better than their performance in the last tournament, where they failed to advance to the quarter-finals and lost to Palestine and Syria.
Saudi Arabia defeated Bahrain in straight sets at home to win the championship of this tournament.
The Qatar youth team recently participated in the Asian U20 Men’s Volleyball Championship, but failed to win a single game in three games and eventually ranked last.
