In addition, Esther Mbah and Pamela Bawa fought back to beat Egypt 2-1 (21-14, 20-22, 15-9), claiming third place at the CAVB Continental Championship in Morocco.
Head coach Kayode Ajilore commended their calm under pressure and persistence, saying their success came from steady effort and total focus.
He also gave credit to Musa Nimrod, President of the CAVB Beach Volleyball Commission, for setting up the chance for the team to excel.
“First, I want to give glory to God for crowning our little efforts with success. The players have shown the world that the African Games silver medal was not a fluke. I want to thank the President of CAVB Beach Volleyball Commission, Nimrod, for believing in us and giving us the platform to excel. The board members of the Nigeria Volleyball Federation have also been supportive of the entire team,” – Ajilore said.
Ajilore also pointed to Samuel Onikeku, Sports Secretary of the Nigeria Customs Service, for his reliable financial and emotional support throughout the tournament.
“I also want to thank our chief supporter Samuel Onikeku, who stood with us throughout the championship to encourage us financially and mentally. His presence really made a great boost to us in Morocco,” – he added.
This feat not only underlines the Nigerian women’s beach volleyball team’s growing strength in Africa but also builds on the drive they showed when they won silver at the African Games.
With the world championship only months away, the team will step up their preparations to represent Africa on the world stage.
