The 11th edition of Amaco International volleyball tournament has attracted 50 teams from East Africa.
Local teams that will compete in the championship that kicks off on May 19 at Eldoret Polytechnic include Kenya Police, Kenya Defence Forces, Kenya Prisons and Kenya Commercial Bank.
Kenya Volleyball Federation chairman Waithaka Kioni thanked Amaco for sponsoring the tournament forthe last 10 years.
“The participation of our teams has encouraged and motivated our players, who train outdoor locally, but when they go internationally they still excel.
“In the spirit of inclusivity, we have incorporated a diverse range of teams from the senior volleyball clubs, universities, colleges, secondary and primary schools and self-supporting clubs,” he said.
