Egypt claimed the 2026 African Women's Volleyball Championship title in Nairobi, defeating host nation Kenya 3–0 in the final without dropping a single set throughout the tournament. The victory — Egypt's fourth continental title — also secures their place at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and the 2027 FIVB Women's World Championship. The tournament featured a record 15 competing nations, with Rwanda reaching the semi-finals and teams such as Algeria, Tunisia, Ghana and Uganda signalling that Africa's volleyball hierarchy is growing more competitive and less predictable.
