Surprised at the reason why Philippine volleyball did not attend the 32nd SEA Games

On this afternoon of April 5, the host Cambodia conducted a draw to divide many subjects at the 32nd SEA Games, including indoor volleyball. The biggest surprise is probably the absence of the Philippines, the team has always been invested very strongly in recent years.

Only 7 men's teams appeared in the draw, including Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Myanmar, of which Group A has only 3 teams. Fans were very curious about the reason for the absence of the Philippines and the answer must have surprised everyone.

According to research, the host Cambodia did not receive the registration of the Philippine men's team, for unknown reasons, because of forgetting or trouble at some stage, only the national women's team registered in the end.

That is the reason why the Philippines men's team was absent from the draw, while the women's team still had their name, it is known that the Philippines is petitioning the host country to add their men's team to the list of SEA Games 32.

There will be 3 options, one is that the Philippine men's team is placed in Group A where Indonesia, Cambodia and Singapore are waiting, the second is that the organizers will re-draw all 8 teams, the third is the Philippines men's volleyball without to participate in the 32nd SEA Games.

If the third case happens, it will be very unfortunate for the Philippine men's team when their efforts are wasted due to somewhat wasteful reasons. Along with Cambodia, the Philippines is a country that has invested heavily in the 32nd SEA Games, their team has continuously trained and competed against each other in recent months. In early February, they train in Chinese Taipei and this April will go to Japan to play friendly matches with clubs in the V.League before moving to Cambodia, or not!
