In a significant boost to Malawi’s volleyball fraternity, Confederation for African Volleyball (CAVB) President Bouchra Hajij has confirmed her visit to the country next month.
The highly respected international volleyball governing body’s leader will be the guest of honor at the prestigious Raiply National tournament, scheduled to take place from November 7 to 10 in Mzuzu city.
Volleyball Association of Malawi (VAM) President James Kaunda shared the exciting news, revealing that he received confirmation of Hajij’s attendance just two days prior.
“President Hajij will attend Raiply National Tournament this year. I got this confirmation two days ago,” Kaunda stated.
While the exact dates of Hajij’s visit are yet to be announced, Kaunda assured that the VAM will make the information public soon.
This development is expected to generate immense interest among volleyball enthusiasts and players across the country.
The Raiply National tournament has established itself as a premier platform for Malawian volleyball talent, and Hajij’s presence will undoubtedly add prestige to the event.
As the CAVB president, her involvement will also provide valuable opportunities for knowledge sharing and networking among local players, coaches, and administrators.
*Hajij’s Visit: A Boost to Malawi’s Volleyball Renaissance*
Malawi’s volleyball scene has experienced a resurgence in recent years, thanks in part to the efforts of the VAM and international partnerships.
The appointment of Thulani Maphosa, a FIVB Instructor, as part of the Volleyball Empowerment program in 2021, has been instrumental in developing local coaching talent.
With Hajij’s visit, Malawi’s volleyball community can expect further impetus in its growth and development.
The CAVB president’s expertise and guidance will be invaluable in shaping the country’s volleyball landscape.
As the dates of Hajij’s visit are finalized, the VAM and local volleyball enthusiasts will eagerly anticipate her arrival.
The Raiply National tournament promises to be an exciting showcase of Malawian volleyball talent, with Hajij’s presence adding an extra layer of significance to the event.
