Former Africa Champions Kenya Commercial Bank’s Women’s Volleyball team is poised to return to the continental stage as they participate in the 45th edition of the African Volleyball Club Championship, which will run from April 24 to May 5, 2024, in Cairo, Egypt.
The Bankers, who last won the competition in 2022 after a 3-1 victory over Egypt's Al Ahli, finished fifth in last year’s competition after a 3-2 loss in the round of 16 against Algeria's Mouloudua Club in Tunisia.
KCB first won the competition in 2006 and has been part of the tournament over ten times. The National Women’s League Champions will jet out of the country on Wednesday ahead of their opening matches. The fixtures will be drawn on Wednesday.
“This competition is more than just winning. It is about showing the continent what we can do as a club and a country, by extension. It is about learning and exposure, and I believe, as KCB, we are a strong team ready to take on our fellow competitors from across Africa,” noted KCB Group Head of Corporate and Regulatory Affairs Judith-Sidi Odhiambo.
