First established in 2002, the Cambodian National Volleyball League (Disabled) remains one of the only professionally managed league-based sporting programmes in Cambodia. Now in its fifth season, the League has successfully added two new provincial teams every year to an initial group of eight. In 2007, the CNVLD will establish three new teams as well as introducing a national 'B League' making 18 teams in total. The CNVLD also manages the only Wheelchair Racing Programme in Cambodia with 5 teams nationwide. The majority of the athletes are survivors of the Landmine. From November 24th to December 2nd 2007, Cambodia will host the 2007 WOVD Phnom Penh Volleyball World Cup, the first ever team sports world cup event to be hosted in the Kingdom. The Cambodian National Volleyball Team (Disabled) is #1 in Asia-Pacific and #4 in the World. The 2007 WOVD Phnom Penh Volleyball World Cup will help raise global awareness about the landmine issue and assist Cambodia to secure the nomination for becoming the ASEAN Centre for Disability Sports.
