According to reports, the Nigeria women’s beach volleyball team will resume camp on Friday as they begin preparations for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games qualifiers, hoping to snatch the only ticket from Africa.
The qualifiers will be held in Morocco from June 19 to 23.

“The girls are preparing for a qualifier, which is coming up in June and they will resume camp on Friday,” he said.
“The list of players expected in camp will be released soon and made available to the media, although they (players) have been contacted.”
