Mbah, Yaro to represent Nigeria at FIVB U21 World Championship
Posted : 06 November 2023
Esther Mbah and Naomi Yaro will represent Nigeria at the 2023 FIVB U21 World Beach Volleyball Championship in Thailand.
The Nigerian U-21 Beach Volleyball team, led by Coach Christiana Amadi, will depart the country on Sunday, November 5, via Ethiopian Airlines.
The FIVB World Championship is scheduled to take place from November 8 to 13 at the Beach Event Roi Et, Thailand.
Christiana Amadi, the coach of the Nigerian U-21 Beach Volleyball team, expressed optimism that the players will perform well at the championship.
Amadi stated, "The fitness level of the players is high following a one-month camp and their participation in the recently concluded 2023 National Beach Tour in Jalingo, Taraba State."
She added, "I have confidence in the girls because they have displayed courage, determination, and zeal in every championship they have attended. If you watched the last CAVB U21 championship in Casablanca, you would discover that the girls gave their very best from the start of the tournament until the final."
"The players spent a month in camp under the guidance of Head Coach John Iwerima before embarking on the beach tour in Jalingo, Taraba State. They played against the experienced G-Ranks and managed to defeat them. The tour served as part of their training before the Championship."
She expressed gratitude to the board members of the Nigeria Volleyball Federation for ensuring that Nigeria did not miss another World Championship.
Amadi stated, "I want to thank the Nigeria Volleyball Federation led by Engineer Musa Nimrod for ensuring the country's participation in the World Championship. I believe we will represent ourselves well and make a statement at the World Championship."
"We missed the last edition of the championship due to the outbreak of the Omicron virus, but this time we are going back, and we will show the world what we are made of," she added.
The Nigerian women qualified for the championship after securing the second position at the 2023 CAVB U21 Beach Volleyball Championship in Morocco in September.
