Volleyball Federation Clamours For Functional League

The Volleyball Federation of Nigeria has requested for the creation of a functional volley league in the country with aim of promoting and developing the sport.

The Chairman technical committee of the federation; Tony Oghuma-Eghiemai made this call in Abuja saying without this league, there will not be a sustainable growth for the game and this was against the backdrop of the performance of the Nigerian under-20 women volleyball team at the FIVB Women’s U-20 World Championship, held in Brno, Czech Republic.

Nigerian team lost all its seven matches played and finished last among the 20 teams which participated in the 10-day championship.

Oghuma-Eghiemai who doubles as NVBF Technical Director however expressed optimism, that there would be positive developments very soon and it is imperative for the federation’s board to source for funds for the running of all its activities.

He commended the players who were in the Czech Republic for their performance despite not fuly prepared for the championship.
