Nigeria’s women’s beach volleyball team has qualified for the 2025 World Championship in Adelaide, Australia, scheduled to take place in November 2025.
The pair of Esther Mbah and Pamela Bawa beat Egypt 2-1 (21-14, 20-22, 15-9) to finish in third place at the just concluded CAVB Continental Championship in Morocco.
Head Coach of the team, Kayode Ajilore, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the players demonstrated class and brilliance in their performance.
Mr Ajilore said the result in Morocco was an indication of hard work and determination from the entire team.
He acknowledged the efforts of Musa Nimrod, President CAVB Beach Volleyball Commission for creating the platform for the players to excel.
“First, I want to give glory to God for crowning our little efforts with success. The players have shown the world that the African Games silver medal was not a fluke.
