One of the lucky fans attending the Cup will win the top prize – a brand new Honda Wave motorbike courtesy of Tennis Cambodia.
What’s more, the federation is also giving away a free four-night stay at the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel.
Tennis Cambodia wants to thank ABA Bank, RMA Cambodia, Tennis Cambodia for Kids – Switzerland, Advance European Medicare Center (AEMC), Pharmacie de la Gare, ADV Tennis, Courtyard by Marriott, V-Active and Nineswing for supporting this historic event.
The 2024 Davis Cup Asia/Oceania Group IV Playoff Event starts on July 8 through 13.
The tournament features eight countries: Cambodia, Iraq, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
The group event is divided into two pools, each with four teams. The top team in each pool plays off against the nation finishing second in the other pool. The nations finishing in third place in each pool play a relegation match against the nation finishing fourth in the other pool.
Matches progress through a round-robin format, with two singles matches and one decisive doubles match.
“Hosting the Davis Cup is undoubtedly fulfilling our ambition for bringing tennis to a larger audience in Cambodia. We will field young players for the Cambodian national tennis team in the Davis Cup playoff, and we believe that our chances are still good,” Tep Rithivit, secretary general of Tennis Cambodia told Khmer Times.
“And I believe that the Khmer crowd is particularly patriotic. They are quite proud, and they are learning more about tennis. We rely heavily on the crowd to support our players,” Rithivit added.
In April, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) announced that Cambodia would host the 2024 Davis Cup Asia/Oceania Group IV Playoff Event, demonstrating Tennis Cambodia’s impressive progress in the region.
