The Kenya Volleyball Federation (KVF) has postponed the Kenya Cup quarter finals to next month to pave way for teams to participate in the annual Kigali Genocide Memorial Volleyball Tournament.

The volleyball governing body delayed the championship also due to the upcoming 2025 African Beach Volleyball Championship qualifiers, set to take place from June 23 to 30 in Tetouan and Martil, Morocco.

The Kenya Cup last eight ties were initially set for June 20-22 but will now take place on July 5-6 at the Nyayo Stadium Gymnasium.

The Kigali Genocide Memorial Volleyball Tournament will be held from June 20 to 22 in the Rwanda’s capital.

The men’s quarter final line-up has newly crowned league champions GSU, KPA, Equity Bank, Administration Police Kenya, KDF, Kenya Prisons, Trailblazers and Kenya Airports Police Unit (KAPU.)

GSU, who are aiming to complete a season double, will be up against KAPU while league playoffs finalists KPA seek redemption in the inaugural championship against Trailblazers.

Dethroned league champions Kenya Prisons have a date with much-improved Equity while KDF take on AP Kenya in the Disciplined Forces Derby.

In the women’s contest newly minted league champions Kenya Pipeline have been given a bye to the semifinals but KCB will have to sweat for a last-four slot against Postbank while Kenya Prisons have a date with Kenya Army.

DCI, who finished runners up in the just concluded national league, face KDF as they seek to cap off their remarkable season with a silverware.

The semis and the two finals will be held on July 12 and July 13 respectively.
