The article above reports the results of the 9th edition of the African Club Cup/Zone 4/Central Africa, which saw the consecration of two clubs from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC): La Loin chez les ladies and Hope among the gentlemen. These two teams dominated their respective finals against Daring Club Motema Pembe (Dcmp) from Kinshasa and Interclub du Congo/Brazzaville.
The matches were played in the hall of the Congolese National Police (PNC), which has established itself as the temple of indoor disciplines while awaiting the completion of the Kinshasa Arena. The latter, with its 20,000 seats, will be the largest sports hall in Central Africa and arouses great expectations from the Congolese sports public.
The Congo Volleyball Federation (Fevoco) plans to host another competition in December, according to statements by President Christian Matata. It is likely that it will be the African Junior Championship, but official confirmation will be necessary.
The victory of La Loin et d’Espoir during this African Club Cup highlights the talent and dynamism of Congolese volleyball. These results also illustrate the growing popularity of this sport in the DRC and Fevoco’s investment in the development of the discipline.
The coming months therefore promise to be full of sporting events in the DRC, with the inauguration of the Kinshasa Arena and the prospect of hosting the African Junior Championship. These occasions will offer Congolese players the opportunity to stand out on the continental scene and continue to raise the colors of Congolese volleyball.
In conclusion, the victory of La Loin et d’Espoir during the African Club Cup/Zone 4/Central Africa testifies to the talent and strength of Congolese volleyball. These successes bode well for volleyball in the DRC and promise exciting sporting events in the months to come.
