Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Rwanda\u2019s national sitting volleyball teams\u2019 head coach Mosaad Rashad has said that Rwandan teams stand a chance to qualify for the 2024 Paralympic Games that will take place in Paris, France from August 28 to September 8.<\/p>\n

Rashad and his two teams are now in Lagos, Nigeria, for the Africa Zone Sitting Volleyball Championship 2024, a competition which will decide the countries that will represent Africa at the Paralympic Games in both men and women categories.<\/p>\n

Both teams had their first training session in Nigeria on Sunday, January 28, just a day before the championship commences.<\/p>\n

Prior to the competition, Rashad said that he trusts his teams can go all the way and win both tickets and qualify for the quadrennial Games but he warned his men\u2019s team about a big threat that Egyptians could pose during the campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a big chance because. Our biggest challenge is the Egyptian team especially in men’s category. The competition will not be easy for the men’s team but, for women, the level of our team is high enough to beat all teams in Africa,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we do our best in the matches and fight in every match, especially against Egypt, we are going to win and I think we can achieve our dream to qualify (for the Paralympic Games).”<\/p>\n
