Kenya women’s national team becomes African Nations Champions with Volleyball Empowerment!

Kenya’s women’s national team were crowned African Nations Champions for the first time since 2015 following their 3-0 win over Egypt in the finals of the Continental tournament in Yaounde, Cameroon.

The Malika Strikers receive targeted support from the FIVB’s revolutionary Volleyball Empowerment programme which aims to improve the performance of national teams and players in volleyball and beach volleyball around the world.

Kenya’s women’s national team have received a total investment of 545’000 CHF since 2021 and have seen their performances boosted by the appointment of elite Brazilian coaches, led by Head Coach Luizomar de Moura.

Speaking about Kenya’s major achievement, the FIVB President Dr Ary S. Graça F° said:

“I offer my sincere congratulations to Kenya’s women’s national team and all the staff for such a great performance! This achievement after the three silver medals they won in 2017, 2019 and 2021 is testament to the fact that Volleyball Empowerment works and brings great results. I am sure that many people will have taken notice of the huge improvements in Kenya’s team and we look forward to their next achievements on the international stage.”
