The men’s national team Wafalme Stars proved their might as they swept aside regional rivals to book their ticket to the 2026 Confederation of African Volleyball (CAVB) African Nations Championship.

Competing in a round-robin format, the Kenyans seized Lugogo Indoor Stadium, and not even their hosts, Uganda, could stop them as they cruised to victory in the just-concluded CAVB Zone Five qualifiers.

Wafalme did it in style as they maintained a flawless campaign to win the five-team battle without dropping a set. The Kenyans will now be among the 16 teams that will be chasing African glory from September 7 to 21 in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
