Kaduna State will host the 2023 edition of the Nigeria President’s Beach Volleyball Cup which is scheduled to start on February 13.
The competition will feature junior (under-17) and senior categories for both male and female players. The junior category will gather more attention as the Nigeria Volleyball Federation uses it as an opportunity to discover more young players that can represent Nigeria at international tournaments.
Martin Melandi, a technical representative of the NVF, stated that the governing body is working aggressively to ensure players get adequate preparation towards at the 2023 African Games in Accra, Ghana as well as other championships.
“The Nigeria Volleyball Federation began its yearly program with the President Beach Volleyball Cup. No stone will be left unturned in ensuring the beach players get more playing time,” Mendi said.
“Nigeria has dominated West Africa in the junior and senior categories; it is time for us to claim back our dominance on the continent. Nigeria will be attending a series of international championships like the African Youth Games, African Games and African Beach Volleyball Championship not forgetting the Olympic qualifiers.”
“The Nigeria Beach Volleyball Commission will provide an enabling environment and more playing time for the athletes to excel.”
In the most recent beach volleyball tournament, Games Village VC and G-Ranks emerged champions of the 2022 National Beach Volleyball Tour in the men and women’s categories respectively after three phases.
