Egypt triumphs in African volleyball: return to glory

In an epic final held in Cairo, Egypt defeated Algeria with a thrilling score of 3-1 (25-22, 25-18, 20-25, 25-22) to clinch the twenty-fourth edition of the Men's African Volleyball Championship. This victory marks the ninth continental success for Egypt, a result awaited for over six years.

 

Algeria, after a fourteen-year wait, had to succumb to the strength of the Egyptians in the final, missing the opportunity to replicate their victory in the group stage. The final also secured Algeria's return to the World Championships after an absence dating back to 1998.

 

But the story doesn't end here: Egypt, Algeria, and even Libya have all earned their ticket to the 2025 Volleyball World Championships, demonstrating that Africa is ready to conquer the world of volleyball. It's a surprising and captivating outcome that promises exciting future challenges.
