Nigeria’s U-19 volleyball team coach Sani Mohammed has released a final 12-man list for the 2021 FIVB U-19 Boys World Championship.

The tournament will take place in Iran from 24th August to 4th September, 2021 and Nigeria is grouped with Iran, Poland and Guatemala.

Coach Mohammed revealed that the team’s objective is to surpass their previous 14th position at the 2019 World Championship in Tunisia.

“It is our prayer that the boys have an injury-free tournament, play well and eventually get clubs to sign them after the championship.”

To finalise their preparations, the team played warm-up games against Kaduna and Abuja selected teams. They will depart the country on Thursday from the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja.
