Egypt, Mozambique, Togo, Morocco, Benin, and Nigeria are ready to make waves at the 2025 Beach Volleyball World Championship held from November 14 to 23 in Adelaide, South Australia. The tournament will feature 48 men’s and 48 women’s teams, playing 216 matches over 10 days at The Drive and Pinky Flat/Tarntanya Wama.
Africa proudly sends three women’s teams: Nigeria represented by Pamela Bawa and Esther Mbah in a tough Group C facing American Olympic champions; Egypt’s two teams in Groups B and J facing formidable opponents; and Mozambique’s duo in Group D competing against top teams from the U.S., Germany, and France.
On the men’s side, Togo, Benin, and Morocco compete. Togo makes history with the first qualifiers Kofi Kotoka and Kuamivi Samani in Group H, while Morocco’s Lazaar Ilyas and Soufiane El Gharouti face strong teams in Group L. Benin’s team looks to use experience and synergy to advance.
With backing from the African Volleyball Confederation, these nations highlight Africa’s growing presence in the sport, investing in coaching, youth programs, and regional tournaments.
