Kenya Pipeline will seal a round of 16 slot on Wednesday if they register their third consecutive win of the preliminary matches at the 2026 CAVB Women’s African Volleyball Club Championship as 2022 champions KCB open their campaign in Cairo, Egypt.

Pipeline, chasing the continental glory for the first time in 20 years, return to the court at 6pm against Volleyball Club La Loi (VCL) of DR Congo in Pool B.

A win will see the Oilers qualify for the knockout stage following straight sets win over Kalibi Sporting Club of Ghana in their opening match followed by a similar score line against Burundi’s Gender Light Club on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, KCB open their campaign in Group D against Nigeria’s Vipers and Partners Volleyball Club from 5pm.

Other KCB opponents in the group include Cameroon’s Litto and Seychelles’ ARSU Ladies.

Other Kenyan representatives DCI will be aiming to bounce back against Kampala Capital City Authority Volleyball Club (KCC) of Uganda from 4pm.

They were welcomed at the continental stage with a 3-0 sets thumping by Tunisian giants and 2021 champions CF de Carthage on Tuesday.
