The 2018 Africa Youth Games Zone V Volleyball Qualifiers get underway on Thursday at Lugogo Indoor Stadium in Kampala.

Hosts Uganda have revealed their final teams for the three-day event after nearly a two weeks camp.

Head coaches Raffi Bachu (Boys) and Protus Soita (Girls) have selected players they believe can qualify the country to the continental games that will be held in Algeria from July 19-28.

There is only one ticket to the African Games and thus for Uganda to qualify, they have to emerge winners.

So far, only Kenya and Egypt are the countries to have confirmed participation and the Uganda Volleyball Federation is still waiting on Rwanda and South Sudan to confirm.
