Victory in the decisive encounter would give Nigeria a major boost in their quest to return to the Olympic stage, making the final much more than a battle for African supremacy.
The championship is being held at Abu Heif Beach in Alexandria under the patronage of Alexandria Governor, Ayman Atiya, in coordination with the Egyptian Volleyball Federation. Aida Ismail is chairing the Supreme Organizing Committee.
African Volleyball Confederation (CAVB) President Bouchra Hajij is also in Alexandria, where she has been monitoring the matches and overseeing the organizational aspects of the continental championship.
With Nigeria already through to the final, attention now shifts to the Egypt-Morocco semifinal, which will determine the team standing between the Nigerians and both the African crown and the prized LA28 Olympic qualification ticket.
