Ghana's men's volleyball national team, the Black Spikers, have left for Tunisia for the 2026 Africa Nations Volleyball Championship.

The team departed Accra on Sunday, September 13, for the competition, which also serves as a qualification pathway for the 2027 FIVB Volleyball World Championship.

The tournament is also a qualification for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, raising the stakes for all participating teams.

The Black Spikers are drawn in Group A, where they will face hosts Tunisia and also take on Kenya in their group games.

The team touched down in Tunis yesterday ahead of the commencement of the championship.

Some officials of the team have been speaking ahead of Ghana's participation.

“We have had the chance to train for three months now, so I would say the team is ready.”
