The host team, Nigeria Customs Service Volleyball Women, will face a tough battle against Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) Volleyball Club when they clash in the knockout phase of the ongoing African Women's Volleyball Club Championship in Abuja.
The Customs Ladies reached this stage of the tournament with a win in their opener, thrashing Mayo Kane Evolution (MKE) of Cameroon 3-0 (25-18, 25-17, 25-22), but lost their last two games to Carthage of Tunisia and APR of Rwanda. KCB, on the other hand, won their first two games but fell to Al Ahly of Egypt 3-2 in their last encounter.
Nigeria's other representative, Chief of Naval Staff (CNS) Spikers, will contend with Litto Volleyball Club of Cameroon in the knockout phase.
CNS began their campaign with a straight-sets win, 3-0, over Botswana's Spikers and Spiking Stars. However, they failed to repeat this win in their last two games against Zamalek and Kenya Prisons.
In some other Round of 16 fixtures, Club Ominisports Descartes of Côte d'Ivoire will test their might against the reigning champions, Zamalek of Egypt, while Armee Patriotique Rwanda (APR) will square off against La Loi of DR Congo.
Elsewhere, Carthage of Tunisia will face Senegal's Sococim, and Al Ahly will take on Mayo Kane Evolution of Cameroon.
Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) will go head-to-head against Spikers and Spiking Stars (SSV) of Botswana, while Kenya Prisons will tackle Police Rwanda.
