Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, July 23, 2013 – The Girls’ U18 volleyball team from Algeria flew to Thailand on Tuesday to participate in the 2013 FIVB U18 World Championship due to start in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand on Friday, July 26 until August 4.

Algeria started their campaign against Slovenia on July 26, before their match against Brazil on July 27. They will then take on the Dominican Republic on July 28 before closing the first round against the United States on the 30th.
