Oman's Dr Shihab Aldin Ahmed al Riyami has commenced his duties as a member of the Technical Control Committee for the 2024 AVC Challenge Cup for Women, currently being held in Manila, Philippines. The tournament began on Sunday and will run until Thursday.

FIVB certified instructor is playing a multifaceted role in the Technical Committee of the tournament. His responsibilities include inspecting all facilities hosting the tournament and team practices, analysing the technical plans and aspects of all participating teams, and overseeing the distribution of teams to the second round of the championship. He is also responsible for explaining event rules, providing technical updates on game rules and competition, and evaluating the technical performance of teams and individual players.



Commenting on his participation in the 2024 Asian Women's Volleyball Challenge Cup, Dr Shihab Aldin said: 'This is my third time attending AVC events, having participated in various Technical Committees of Asian Championships and Cups. It is an honour and privilege to support the AVC family in the Control Committee. I would like to extend my gratitude to the AVC family for their trust and confidence in me, and for giving me the golden opportunity to be part of the AVC Challenge Cup for the second successive time. I also greatly appreciate the AVC Coaches Committee for their cooperation in developing coaches in the Asian zone. This is a significant championship in Asia, and I am so grateful to be one of the members of the Technical Control Committee for this tournament on the Asian continent.'

'I have been a member of the AVC Coaches Committee since 2012, and this is my ninth appearance in Asian competitions and events overall. The AVC Women’s Challenge Cup is a new event for me, having been launched just last year. This tournament features some of the strongest volleyball teams in Asia and showcases a high level of performance. With ten teams participating, it is a great opportunity for all teams in Asia to gain more technical experience and enhance their players' performance,' he concluded.
