Kenya’s representatives in the 46th edition of the CAVB Men’s African Volleyball Champions Championship have learned their round of 16 opponents.

According to the draw unveiled by the competition’s organizers on Friday, April 25, 2025, Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) will lock horns with Fath Union Sports (FUS) from Morocco.

The Moroccans fell to a 3-1 defeat to Kenya’s GSU side in the preliminary stages on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, but bounced back to secure their place in the knockout phases.

GSU faces an equally demanding task with a paramilitary derby clash against APR from Rwanda standing between them and a place in the quarter-final stages.

The military team lost to the Libyan side, Al Nasser Sports Club, on Thursday, April 24, 2025, in their final group tie, having already booked their slot in the next phase.

GSU, who have been the country’s outstanding representatives in the continental games in Libya, will be out to banish a spate of poor results by Kenyan teams against Rwandan opposition.

Giants and pre-tournament favourites, Al Ahly, who beat Kenya’s GSU in the final match to finish atop Group B, will face off against NSC.

In other clashes, the East African side, Kepler(Rwanda), has been drawn against Volleyball Club Espoir (VCE) from Congo.

Meanwhile, Prisons, who saw their quest for a knockout qualification dashed, will contest the play-off 17-24 position.

The club will battle against VGR on Sunday, April 26, 2025 at 1:00 PM.
