The tournament aims to strengthen international cooperation, promote cultural and sports exchanges between police forces of different countries, and at the same time improve physical strength and solidarity in the armed forces.
The most anticipated match on the opening day was the match between the People's Public Security (CAND) and the Indonesian Police.

JBP reached the semi-finals of the 2023 Asian Men's Club Volleyball Championship and was the national champion of Indonesia in 2024 and 2025.
Dutch foreign player Ter Horst (2.02 m tall) has not adapted well to CAND's playing style.
Facing a very strong opponent, Coach Duong Tan Vinh of CAND used his strongest lineup from the start. The home team had to compete for every point with the Indonesian Police team but lost the first 20-25 games. The second game was similar when the team from the archipelago continued to take the initiative, continuously widening the gap with the opponent, sometimes up to 10 points. Breaking away at the end of the game, Coach Reidel Gonzales Toiran's team won with a score of 25-17.

In the end, the Indonesian Police team won the final score 25-23.

In the end, the Cambodian Ministry of Interior team won the Army with a score of 3-1 (28-26, 25-23, 22-25 and 25-21).
