The 2024 Girls' U18 African Nations Volleyball Championship was the 17th edition of the Girls' U18 African Nations Volleyball Championship, the biennial international youth volleyball tournament organised by the African Volleyball Confederation (CAVB) for the girls' under-19 national teams of Africa. It was held in Tunis, Tunisia from 5 to 8 September 2024.[1]
Only two national teams took part in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2007 eligible to participate. Originally five teams confirmed their participation including Egypt, Morocco, Mauritius, Rwanda and hosts Tunisia.[2] However, only Egypt and Tunisia took part while Morocco, Mauritius and Rwanda withdrew.
Same as previous editions, the tournament acted as the CAVB qualifiers for the FIVB Volleyball Girls' U19 World Championship. Only the champion team qualified for the 2023 FIVB Volleyball Girls' U19 World Championship in Croatia and Serbia, as the CAVB suffered a reduction of their places from 3 to 1 by playing their qualification tournament with only two teams.
Tunisia won their third title by beating Egypt in two games out of three and as champions qualified for the 2025 FIVB Volleyball Girls' U19 World Championship.[3]
Host and venue
[edit]The African Volleyball Confederation awarded Tunisia the hosting rights for the tournament on 24 June 2024.[1] The competition took place in Tunis at the Al Machatel Hall, a venue located in the Baldevebe Nursery west of Belvedere Park.[4] The Al Machatel Hall had recently been inaugurated in July 2024.[5]
