Kenya has withdrawn its hosting rights for the Africa Sitting Volleyball Championship, which was scheduled for Kasarani on May 15-22.

This is after the Government declined to finance the event, citing financial constraints following Kenya’s bid to host the forthcoming IAAF World U-18 Championships in July and the Africa Nations Championships (CHAN) early next year.
