In the women’s final, APR WVC, coached by Justine Kigwaria, will enter Game 3 full of confidence after recording back-to-back victories over Kepler WVC. Despite trailing 2-0 in the series, Kepler showed remarkable resilience in Game 2, stretching APR to a dramatic five-set contest. Much attention will again be on in-form attacker Fatoumata Binta Bah, who has scored more than 15 points in each of the opening two matches. APR, however, will rely on the experience of key players such as Benita Mundayisenga, setter Linar Ogwera Achieng, and captain Valentine Munezero as they seek to complete a clean sweep and lift the title.

Meanwhile, the battle for bronze also continues. In the men’s category, Kepler VC have already secured third place after defeating Gisagara VC in straight matches.
