Hon Daunemigha said the President Cup would afford NVBF the opportunity to rank players and select ahead of the forthcoming 2022 Commonwealth Games qualifiers.
“The annual President Beach Volleyball Cup will feature the U19 Boys/U19 Girls and seniors (male and female). The Federation is focusing on how to give upcoming beach volleyball players the opportunity to showcase their talents and rank the senior players.
“There are a series of beach volleyball championships the Nigeria Volleyball Federation will attend and the President Cup will provide a platform to select some of the best players in the country.”
Hon Daunemigha revealed that the NVBF Beach Commission chaired by Engineer Musa Nimrod is poised to see Nigeria become the hub of beach volleyball in Africa.
