NAIROBI, June 15 (Xinhua) — The Kenyan women’s volleyball team
has been given a wild card to this year’s Africa Youth Games, which
will be held in Algiers, Algeria from July 17-27.

Confederation of Africa Volleyball (CAVB) president Amr Elwani
said that Kenya, by virtue of being the event silver medalist from
Botswana in 2016, deserves a spot in the finals where the top three
teams will represent Africa to the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos
Aires, Argentina.

“Kenya is high ranked in women volleyball and they are worthy
competitors at the Africa level. We want to have the best team
going to the Youth Olympic Games,” said the CAVB president on
Friday.

Kenya was beaten by Egypt in the qualification tournament for
the Zone Five tournament and was meant to miss the Africa Youth
Games.

But they have now been drawn in Pool A where they will face
hosts Algeria, Nigeria and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Pool
B has Cameroon, Tunisia, Egypt and Botswana.

The Kenyan team head coach Catherine Mabwi believes the second
chance given to the team will help them redeem their hopes and
fight for the medals.

“I believe this team will have top players who will transit to
the senior team and make an impact on the global stage. The
announcement was made during the drawing of lots in Cairo,” she
said.

In the boys’ competition, Pool A has host Algeria, Cameroon,
Egypt and Botswana while Pool B will have Tunisia, Nigeria, Gambia
and Madagascar.

The Youth Olympic Games are an elite multisport international
event for the world’s best young athletes between the ages of
15-18.

Buenos Aires 2018 will mark the first time that an Olympic event
has had an equal number of women and men athletes. There will be
1,999 women and 1,999 men competing in the 32 sports from October
6-18. Enditem
