International tchoukball
tournament set Aug. 3-5

Teams from 10 countries in the Asia Pacific, lead by powerhouse Chinese Taipei, have confirmed their participation to the August 3 to 5 5th Asia Pacific Tchoukball Championships set at the West Negros University Gym in Bacolod City.

In a press conference, Philippine Tchoukball Federation national chairman Gary Visitacion said they are expecting nine more countries to join in the competition with host Philippines hoping to barge into the final four.

Despite being relatively new to the sports, he said the Philippines has shown its potential as it captured the men’s title in the 2nd Southeast Asia Tchoukball Championships in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, October last year.
