The Zamfara State Volleyball Association has started getting ready for its end-of-year tournament. Players from all 14 local government areas in the state are expected to join.
A statement from the association’s media officer, shared with our reporter on Saturday, said Anas Lawal, the acting chairman, has set up a planning committee. This committee will work to make sure the tournament goes smoothly.
The tournament will gather players, coaches, stakeholders, retired athletes, and volleyball fans. Participants from universities and military and paramilitary groups will also take part.
The association sees the event as more than just a sports competition. They said, “This is not just a tournament. It is a reunion, a celebration of talent, and a symbol of unity.”
They mentioned that the competition will give new players a chance to show their skills. They believe that “many stars will be discovered from this tournament.”
To prepare for the event, the association, along with ZACAST Volleyball Elders, has started fixing up the volleyball court. This will provide a good place for the tournament.
The statement also called on players, coaches, and other stakeholders to support the event. It said, “This is our time. This is our association. This is our tournament.”
The association is working hard to bring volleyball back to life in the state. They noted that Zamfara recently took part in the Zonal Festival in Kaduna State.
The association said this participation shows that the volleyball community in Zamfara is active and ready to compete nationally.
Lawal has promised to promote unity, discipline, and sportsmanship since he became acting chairman.
