Over 30 teams have registered to participate at the forthcoming Jos Beach Volleyball Fiesta, according to the member of the Nigeria Beach Volleyball Commission, Bolcit Barshep-Amakiri.

The 1st edition of Jos Beach Volleyball Fiesta is scheduled for 24th to 26th March, 2023 in Jos, Plateau State

Barshep-Amakiri who doubles as the organiser revealed that states from the North West, North East, North Central, para military as well as a Ghanaian team will grace the beach volleyball fiesta.

She said part of the criteria for participation is for a professional player to pair a non professional player.

The sports marketer added that one of the aims and objectives is to encourage the game of beach volleyball amongst the grassroots.

She said, “I am glad to announce that the Jos Beach Volleyball Fiesta has attracted teams from Abuja, Bauchi, Gombe, Plateau, Kaduna, paramilitary as well as a foreign team; as of now over 30 teams have registered and are still counting. I want to ensure beach volleyball is rooted in Plateau State.

“It is on record that some of the finest indoor volleyball players have their roots in Plateau State. I want the same to happen in the beach volleyball event.

“For any team to be eligible, you must parade a non professional player; thus the Theme: Pair to Inspire”.

“Our aim and objective at the Fiesta is to encourage the beach volleyball 🏐 among the grass roots and most importantly discover new and hidden talents”, she revealed.

The member of Plateau State Volleyball Association said her intention is to use volleyball as a tool to take the youths off the streets and reduce crime in her society.

Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala was on target as Al Hilal produced an impressive 4-0 away victory over NEOM, with fellow Nigerian international Christy Ucheibe also featuring in the convincing performance.

Sports247 reports that Oshoala continued her contribution to Al Hilal’s attacking campaign by finding the back of the net in the 65th minute, helping the visitors strengthen their advantage in a dominant display.

The Nigerian forward’s goal came during an impressive second-half performance from Al Hilal, who added three goals after the interval to complete a comprehensive victory.

Moroccan forward Ibtissam Jraidi opened the scoring in the 11th minute, giving Al Hilal an early advantage before the teams went into the break.

Oshoala doubled the visitors’ lead in the 65th minute before Manar Al-Anzi made it 3-0 just four minutes later.

Jraidi then completed her brace in the 88th minute, sealing the emphatic 4-0 result for Al Hilal.

Christy Ucheibe, Oshoala’s Super Falcons teammate, also played a part in the victory as the Nigerian duo continued to make their contributions to the Saudi Arabian club.

The result represents another important outing for Al Hilal, with the team’s attacking quality evident in the performance against NEOM.

For Oshoala, the goal provides another opportunity to demonstrate her goalscoring ability and importance at club level. The six-time African Women’s Player of the Year remains one of Nigeria’s most recognisable football exports, and her performances continue to attract attention.

The presence of both Oshoala and Ucheibe in Al Hilal’s squad also highlights the growing influence of Nigerian players in women’s football outside the country.

With the emphatic away victory secured, Al Hilal will look to build on the performance in their subsequent fixtures.
