Due to logistics reasons, the 21st African Senior Women's Volleyball Championship will no longer be held from 06 to 18 August 2023, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The decision to postpone the tournament was taken by the Confederation of African Volleyball (CAVB) at the request of the host country's federation.

According to the updates, the main reason for the postponement is the international calendar.

The calendar is said to be "overloaded with numerous competitions on the programme in the coming weeks. 

In particular, the Women's U19 World Championship, which takes place from 1 to 11 August in Croatia and Hungary. 

In other words, right on the edge of the initial kick-off date for the African Senior Women's Championship," reports Christian Tchapmi, head of communications for the Cameroon Volleyball Federation (Fécavolley).

Team Nigeria in Volleyball is among the team that will participate in the competition.

 It will now be held from 14 to 25 August at the same venue.
