Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The University of Tourism, Technology and Business Studies (UTB)\u2019s recent decision to drop the institution\u2019s volleyball teams has sparked mixed reactions, Times Sport can report.<\/p>\n

The move has mainly triggered a backlash from majority of the affected players, sources have confirmed. Time Sports understands that players were informed of the directive earlier this week on Sunday, November 7.<\/p>\n

In wake of the news, this publication reached out to a reliable source from the club\u2019s management, who confirmed citing various disputes as the sole reason.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a problem in top management because some executives don’t want the team to exist,\u201d the source added, \u201cBut others want the teams to survive.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is no hope for survival however, following Sunday\u2019s announcement that both teams wouldn\u2019t participate in next month\u2019s league, the source decried. If nothing is done to change the situation, both clubs will be rendered incapable of participating in the 2021\/2022 upcoming season.<\/p>\n

UTB men volleyball team debuted in the national league five years ago, and has so far claimed various accolades including two Genocide Memorial Tournaments.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the women team has so far claimed two league championships with just three years of existence. It remains unclear if both parties will revert the decision following several complaints, according to a source who spoke on condition of anonymity. The senior management from the University had declined to confirm the news by press time.<\/p>\n
