It is the first major international tournament organised in the province, which has carried out extensive preparations and is ready to welcome the athletes from across the globe, according to Le Hoang Phu, deputy director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The tournament features 22 teams from ten countries and regions, including Australia, Hong Kong (China), Kazakhstan, New Zealand, Malaysia and Japan. As the hosts, Vietnam will have four teams taking part, who will also be testing themselves ahead of the 33rd SEA Games later this year.

"This sports tournament is also an opportunity to promote and introduce Phu Yen to international friends, especially the beauty of our beach, a place with great potential to organise regional and continental volleyball tournaments," said Phu.

VTVcab will broadcast live all the matches, linking up to the websites of the Vietnam Volleyball Federation, AVC and International Volleyball Federation, allowing audiences at home and abroad to watch the tournament.

The tournament will last through to April 28.
