Wafalme Kicks Off Africa Men’s Volleyball Championships with Loss to Cameroon
The national men’s volleyball team, also known as “Wafalme,” kicked off their campaign at the Africa Men’s Volleyball Championships with a 3-1 loss to Cameroon on Monday night in Cairo, Egypt.
Under the guidance of Coach Gideon Tarus, the Kenyan team faced a challenging start, losing the first set 25-22, followed by a 25-20 loss in the subsequent set.
However, Wafalme displayed resilience in the third set, clinching a 26-24 victory and extending the match to one more set.
Regrettably, their newfound momentum waned in the deciding set, as the West African giants secured a 25-17 win.
In their upcoming match, Wafalme will compete against Libya on Tuesday evening at the same venue. Libya began their continental campaign with a 3-1 triumph over Ghana.
In other matches on the same day, Morocco achieved a convincing victory over Rwanda in straight sets, while Tunisia defeated Mali with the same scoreline.
