All is set for the final phase of the 2024 Beach volleyball star tour in Bauchi City, Bauchi State.
According to DCP Stephen Hasso (RTD), Chairman of the Local Organising Committee, 24 teams will compete for the grand prize from November 11 to 18 at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium.
Hasso commended Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, for approving the hosting of this significant event.
He noted that the state was fortunate to host the tour following Engineer Musa Nimrod’s appointment as President of the CAVB Beach Volleyball Commission.
“It is a new beginning for beach volleyball in Nigeria, as Bauchi State will host the final phase of the 2024 National Beach Volleyball Star/Open Tour, thanks to Musa Nimrod’s leadership in Africa,” Hasso stated.
“Bauchi State has demonstrated its commitment to beach volleyball since we started this tour and has consistently presented a competitive team. Today, Bauchi State is home to some of the best beach volleyball players in Africa.”
Hasso emphasised the importance of this tour, saying, “24 teams from the Star and Open tours are preparing for one of the most important beach volleyball events in West Africa. Nigeria is the first country in Sub-Saharan Africa to organise the President’s Cup and the Star/Open Tour.”
He urged beach volleyball enthusiasts from the North Central and North East regions to come to Bauchi in large numbers and witness the excitement of top-level competition.
Additionally, he revealed that the commission aims to make beach volleyball more attractive to individuals and private investors, encouraging further investment in the sport.
