The competition will be in a round robin format between the three teams and competition day one, Friday will see Egypt and Tunisia competing together. In day two Tunisia meets Algeria, Saturday, then Egypt will play Algeria Sunday in the final day.

We’ll have great competitors in the championship specially the promising Algerian team which is one of the most important volleyball schools in the continent, Stated the Egyptian Trainer , Emad Nawar who led the Women’s U-20 team to qualify to the World championship in this age category last month with the head coach, Hesham Badrawy. He added that seven of the team players were with U-20 team which was the Champions in Abuja, Nigeria in December 2004 and the key players were Hagar Badr Eldeen and Marwa Yassin.

Under supervision of the Algerian coach Yazid Reda, the Algerian team included some experienced players like the spikers Zahra Ben Salem and Fatma Gawad. The problem which faced the team is that the competition is coincident with the mid year exams of many student players; the matter which led to postponing of their exams.

Tunisian girls team is newly formed and so they don’t have enough experience as mentioned by the coach Mohsen Ben Soliman.
