Having recorded five consecutive victories—four of them without dropping a set—Nigeria now stands just one win away from lifting the continental title.

The team's outstanding performances throughout the tournament reflect the continued progress of youth volleyball in Nigeria and underline the effectiveness of the country's talent development programme.

Nigeria will now shift its focus to the final, where the young side will be aiming to complete an unbeaten campaign and be crowned champions of Africa.
