Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Rwanda Energy Group men\u2019s volleyball team has withdrawn from this year\u2019s African Club Championships slated in Tunis, Tunisia from May 5-18.<\/p>\n

The local volleyball governing body recently confirmed that both REG and Gisagara applied to take part in the competition but the former surprisingly withdrew their application as focus is now fully shifted to the Basketball team ahead of next month\u2019s Basketball Africa League (BAL) playoffs.<\/p>\n

Geoffrey Zawadi, president of the REG volleyball club, told Times Sport that the team will not participate in the continental volleyball club competition after the institution decided to allocate the sports budget to REG BBC and support the team\u2019s preparations for the BAL.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not participate in the volleyball men\u2019s African Club Championships this year because we want the basketball team to better prepare for the BAL playoffs,\u201d said Zawadi in an interview.<\/p>\n

Tunisia is hosting the African Club Championships for the second time in a row having previously hosted last year\u2019s edition during which REG represented the country, alongside APR, with the former finishing ninth.<\/p>\n

The same country will also host the CAVB Women\u2019s African Volleyball Club Championships from May 19 to June 1 in Tunis.<\/p>\n
