Tunisia Reclaim African Men’s Volleyball Championship Title

Tunisia have recaptured the African men’s volleyball crown, completing a successful campaign at the 2026 Men’s African Volleyball Championship in Tunis.

Playing on home soil, Tunisia emerged as the champions of Africa winning 3-0 25–22, 25–18, 25–19 , with Ben Romdhane Oussama capping the tournament with an individual honour after being named Most Valuable Player (MVP).

The championship also produced a strong representation across the continent in the Dream Team, with players from Tunisia, Cameroon, Morocco and Algeria earning places among the tournament’s standout performers.

Tunisia last lifted the African men’s volleyball title in 2021, defeating Cameroon in the final in Kigali, Rwanda, to claim their third consecutive continental crown. 

Their reign came to an end at the 2023 African Championship in Cairo, where Egypt reclaimed the title after an eight-year wait, ending Tunisia’s three-edition winning streak.

Egypt secured a straight-sets victory, winning 25–16, 25–21, 26–24.

In the 7th–8th place playoff, Ghana defeated Nigeria 3–0, with the sets ending 25–22, 27–25, 25–16.
