“Bauchi State has demonstrated its commitment to beach volleyball since we started this tour and has consistently presented a competitive team. Today, Bauchi State is home to some of the best beach volleyball players in Africa.”
Hasso emphasised the importance of this tour, saying, “24 teams from the Star and Open tours are preparing for one of the most important beach volleyball events in West Africa. Nigeria is the first country in Sub-Saharan Africa to organise the President’s Cup and the Star/Open Tour.”
