Egypt wins 2026 Women’s African Volleyball Championship
Overview
Nairobi hosted the 2026 CAVB Women’s National Volleyball Championship at the Moi International Sports Centre, serving as a qualifier for the 2027 World Championships and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
In the final, Egypt claimed the continental title by defeating the host nation, Kenya, in straight sets with scores of 21-25, 15-25, and 15-25. This victory secured a direct qualification pathway for Egypt to the 2028 Olympic Games.
While the defeat prevented Kenya’s Malkia Strikers from direct Olympic qualification, they successfully earned a place at the 2027 FIVB Women’s Volleyball World Championship. Cameroon secured the bronze medal after defeating Rwanda 3-0 in the third-place playoff. The three medalists—Egypt, Kenya, and Cameroon—have all qualified for the 2027 FIVB Women’s Volleyball World Championship.
