NAIROBI, Kenya, Sept 4 – The national women’s volleyball team, Malkia Strikers, suffered a straight-set loss to Egypt in the CAVB Africa Women’s Volleyball Championship at the Kasarani Gymnasium on Friday night, missing out on automatic LA 2028 Olympics qualification.
Kenya lost 22-25 in the opening set, before going down 15-25 in the second set and finally bowing out 15-25 in the last set.
Malkia, who has booked a ticket to the World Cup, will now hope to qualify for the Olympics through the repechage.
