PHNOM PENH: Cambodia is sending over 150 athletes to train in China for the upcoming Asian Games that start in September.

According to Secretary General of the National Olympic Committee, Vath Chamroeun, the NOCC will be sending 150-160 Cambodian delegates, coaches and athletes to participate in the 19th Asia Games from September 23-October 8. The NOCC is joining with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports and the National Sports Training Centre to intensify training for Cambodian athletes following the success of this year’s SEA Games which were hosted by Cambodia.
