    Volleyball: Pool Phase Concludes in Cairo, Round of Sixteen Confirms

    The pool stage of the 2026 Women’s African Volleyball Club Championship came to a thrilling conclusion on Friday in Cairo, with top clubs asserting dominance while others battled fiercely for qualification into the knockout rounds.

    Day 5 delivered decisive results across all pools, confirming the form of tournament favorites and shaping the path to the round of 16.

    Hosts Al Ahly (AHL) capped off a flawless Pool A campaign in emphatic fashion, brushing aside Omnisport Descartes (OMD) of Côte d’Ivoire in straight sets (25-06, 25-16, 25-12). Their dominant run underlines their status as strong title contenders heading into the next stage.

    In Pool B, Ghana’s KSC closed their group matches on a high with a convincing 3-0 victory over VC La Loi (VCL) of DR Congo. Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) also maintained momentum, dispatching Senegal’s Sococim (SOC) in straight sets to secure a strong finish and reinforce Kenya’s presence among the top contenders.

    Pool C saw Kenya’s DCI emerge victorious in a competitive four-set encounter against Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), demonstrating resilience after dropping a set. Uganda’s KCCA (KCC) were equally impressive, sealing a dominant straight-sets win over Volleyball La Eagles (VLA) to book their place in the next round with confidence.

    In Pool D, Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) continued their excellent form with a 3-0 triumph over Cameroon’s Litto Team Volleyball (LTV), finishing the group stage strongly. The clash between Nigeria’s VPC and Seychelles’ ARS nearly provided late drama, going the distance in a four-set battle, highlighting the competitive depth of the tournament even among closely matched sides.

    With the pool phase now complete, the competition shifts to the knockout rounds, where the intensity is expected to rise further. Africa’s top clubs have shown their quality, and the race for continental glory remains wide open as teams prepare for the decisive battles ahead.

    KPC got off to a flying start at the inaugural CAVB Zone 5, thrashing KCCA 3-0

    Kenya Pipeline Women Volleyball Club (KPC) got off to a flying start on Day 2 of the inaugural CAVB Africa Zone 5 Club Championships, which kicked off at the Bank of Kigalu Arena in Kigali, Rwanda, on Tuesday, beating Kampala City Council Authority (KCA) by three straight sets of 25-19, 25-15, and 25-21.

    Following their 10-5 victory over the Ugandan Club, KPC let up, allowing KCCA to close the distance and even surpass them 14–15.

    KPC battled back heroically to level 16-16 and win the set easily 25-19 because to accurate sets from Captain Magoi and powerful on-target hits from Pamela Odhiambo, the opposing player.

    Tushemer, a Toweing left attacker, was a standout for KCCA.

    Silver medallists from Africa Pipeline overcame a rough beginning to lead 7–7 before pulling away to lead 10–8, 17–11, and 22–12 before prevailing.

    Towering centre Yvonne Sinaida and Kasaya were introduced by seasoned coach Mburu Gitau, who helped the oilers win the second set easily, 25’25.

    After adopting a different strategy, KPC was able to turn a 6-6, 7-7 tie into a 9-7, 10/7, and 11-8 easy sail by using more Kasaya/Atuka Centre and assaults.

    Effectively executed e-balls from Joan Tushenereiwe of KCCA, who gave a brief but bright reprieve before retreating on 11-11, 17-13, 21-17, and 23-18.

    Atuka’s B-Quick game killer, which ended the straight sets game triumph at 25-21, was too much for the resolute Kampala girls to overcome, not even the timeout at this moment.

    KPC’s small second libero Pamela Nyongesa was the audience favourite because of her outstanding back-court cover.
