The Kabaddi World Cup in Cambodia is not supported or permitted by the Ministry of Education

Because it is against the law, the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sport has declared that it will neither support or permit the Kabaddi World Cup to be held in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. This is stated in the Ministry's July 22, 2024, response letter to Mr. S.T. Arusu, Secretary General of the World Cup Kabaddi, which was signed by Secretary of State HE Vath Chamroeun.

The letter requests information from the Secretary-General (S.T. Arusu) regarding the lack of a request to host the Kabaddi World Championships that the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sport has not yet received. 

1. The Ministry does not support and allow the organization of the Kabaddi World Cup in Cambodia because the sport has not yet officially established a national sport federation.

2. Without the National Sports Federation, it is illegal to engage in any sporting activity in Cambodia.

3. The National Olympic Committee of Cambodia also does not support the organization of the Games.

4. The Royal Government has not yet allowed the competition, so the preparation of the above competition is not legal.

Please be informed accordingly, Mr. Secretary General of the World Cup Kabaddi.
