The 2004 AMF Bowling World Cup will be held December 4-11 in Singapore.
The 40th anniversary edition of the Bowling World Cup is to be staged at a 34-lane center currently under construction. The SuperBowl Telok Blangah, located at No. 2 Telok Blangah Way, is being built in the heart of a southern residential district. It will sit directly across the road from the Alkaff Mansion, one of Singapore’s fine dining establishments that recalls its colonial heritage. Other nearby attractions are Mount Faber Hill, overlooking the republic’s southern coast; Singapore’s World Trade Centre; and Sentosa Island, a popular resort destination.
“We are excited to bring the AMF World Cup back to Singapore for the first time since 1973,” said tournament manager Anne-Marie Board. “The sport of bowling has a rich history in this country, with an avid and knowledgeable fan base. We know those fans are going to give their full support not only to the home country favorites, but also to each and every bowler who competes next year.
“We look forward to working with SuperBowl Holdings Limited, owner of the SuperBowl chain, the Singapore Tenpin Bowling Congress, ABS Bowling Pte Ltd, and the local organizing committee to make this one of the most memorable World Cups ever.”
The 1973 AMF Bowling World Cup attracted bowlers from 34 countries to Jackie’s Bowl and was won by Bernie Caterer of Great Britain and Kesinee Srivises of Thailand. Since then, the number of countries represented annually in the World Cup has more than doubled, with a record 88 nations sending athletes in 2000 to Lisbon, Portugal.
