Bahrain clinches second place in AVC Challenge Cup for Men

The Bahrain national volleyball team ended second in the 2023 Asian Men's Volleyball Challenge Cup.

The national squad lost to Thailand 3-0 in the final of the tournament, hosted by Chinese Taipei, 20-25, 20-25 and 16-25.

The national team had been in phenomenal form throughout the tournament. They brushed Sri Lanka aside 3-1 in their opening preliminary round game and bounced back from a 3-2 defeat in their second first-round match against Indonesia to demolish the Philippines 3-0 in a second-round fixture.

Bahrain, then, overcame the mighty Australians 3-1 in their quarter-final clash, and beat South Korea 3-0 in the semi-final.
