The President of Nigeria Volleyball Federation, Musa Nimrod is confident that the nation’s beach volleyball women’s team stands a chance of qualifying for the Tokyo 2021 Olympics.
Nimrod said that the COVID-19 would play a vital role whenever the Confederation of Africa Volleyball decides to choose a host for the final round.
He said the country would not have a repeat of what happened four years ago, where Egypt clinched the sole beach volleyball ticket in Nigeria.
Nimrod said: “Nigeria intends to host the final round of the Tokyo 2021 Beach Volleyball women’s Olympic qualifiers and we do not want to miss the Olympic Games this time around like what happened four years ago. The nation failed to qualify for the Rio 2016 Olympics in Abuja, where Egypt got the ticket in front of our home fans.
He added: “The federation is indicating interest to host the final round of the women’s qualification in the country, but we hope not to commit silly mistakes for the second time on home soil.
