Volleyball World Cup Qualifiers Begin

Congo DR Fail To Arrive For Tourney

The Local Organising Committee of the 2010 Women’s World Volleyball Championship African Zone III qualifiers, has informed that Congo DR may not feature in the competition as they were yet to arrive as at Tuesday evening.

The tournament billed to hold at the Rowe Park Sports Complex between June 3 and 7, will feature Cameroun, Botswana, Nigeria, Senegal and they are all on ground for the kick-off.

The tournament will commence on Wednesday (today) as Delegates of Federation International Volleyball, FIVB are already in Nigeria to supervise the tournament.

Spokesman of Nigeria Volleyball Federation, Boye Ajayi told Complete Sports Tuesday night that no word has come from the Congolese as the Technical Committee met last night in Lagos to deliberate on how the tournament will be successful.

According to Boye, Nigeria was scheduled to meet Congo DR in the opening confrontation but with their failure to arrive, another opponent is expected for the Nigerian girls on Wednesday.
