On Monday, Kenya’s female Para volleyball team commenced their quest for a spot in the 2024 Paralympics with a commanding 3-0 victory (25-15, 25-6, 21-15) over Nigeria at the 2024 African Sitting Volleyball Championship, the qualifiers for the African Paralympics. The inaugural clash between the two countries ended in disappointment for the host, as the Kenyan team displayed a convincing performance.<\/p>\n
The Kenyan female squad ignited the Paralympics qualifiers with an impressive start. Playing in front of enthusiastic spectators at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos, Kenya dominated, leaving no room for the Nigerian team.<\/p>\n
Similarly, the Nigerian men’s team faced defeat against Kenya. Despite Kenya securing early set wins (25-22, 25-13), Nigeria mounted a comeback, leveling the game after being two sets down. In the inconsequential final set, Kenya maintained their edge, winning 15-12 against the host.<\/p>\n
