Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>APR Volleyball Club and Police Women VC were crowned the Liberation Cup 2023 champions on Sunday, July 9, after beating Gisagara VC and APR WVC respectively in the final.<\/p>\n

In an eye-catching and competitive match, APR deposed Gisagara to the trophy after defeating them 3-1 (25-21, 25-22, 23-25, 27-25).<\/p>\n

The Rwanda military-owned club advanced to the Liberation Cup final with a 3-1 victory over Police VC in the semifinals, whereas the Gisagara district-based side progressed after overcoming REG VC 3-1 in the semifinals.<\/p>\n

Gisagara last month won the Genocide Memorial Tournament (GMT) title, following a 3-0 triumph over REG in the final.<\/p>\n

In the women\u2019s category, Police WVC convincingly defeated their current rival APR WVC by a score of 3-1 sets (25-14, 25-18, 20-25, 25-14) in the final.<\/p>\n

En route to the final, the Rwanda police-owned side defeated Ruhango WVC 3-1 in the semifinals, while APR secured a spot in the finals by beating Rwanda Revenue Authority WVC 3-2 in the semifinals.<\/p>\n

Police WVC added this trophy to their recent GMT title after humiliating RRA WVC 3-0 in the final.<\/p>\n

The two-day competition, which concluded at BK Arena, drew 12 teams, including six in the men\u2019s category and six in the women\u2019s category.<\/p>\n

The champion received Rwf1 million, while the runners-up and second runners-up received Rwf700,000 and Rwf500,000 respectively as prizes.<\/p>\n

The inaugural tournament was organized with the intention of celebrating Rwanda\u2019s July 4 Liberation Day.<\/p>\n
