History
The African Volleyball Confederation (CAVB) hosts the African Beach Volleyball Championship, the continent's premier beach volleyball competition. Teams of two players compete on sand courts, in contrast to the sport's conventional indoor variant. It was founded in the early 2000s with the goal of advancing beach volleyball throughout the continent.
Both the men's and women's national teams compete in the competition, which was first conducted sporadically but has since grown to be a regular event in African sports. The competition has become more competitive, drawing elite athletes from nations like South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Morocco, and Mozambique. Additionally, it qualifies players for international tournaments such as the Olympic Games and the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships.
