Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam in the men’s event and Thailand, Singapore in the women’s competition claimed their first wins
The 32nd Southeast Asian (SEA) Games Beach Volleyball Tournament between May 11 and 16, 2023, which serves as the AVC Beach Volleyball Continental Cup Phase 1 Southeastern Zone, burst into action-packed encounters at Preah Sihanouk in Cambodia on Thursday.
