The hosts delivered a composed performance, winning 3–0 (25–21, 25–21, 25–23). Despite a late surge from their opponents in the third set, the Ghanaian side held firm to seal the title.
The women’s final saw an even more emphatic display as Kalibi brushed aside Vipers Volleyball Club in dominant fashion. Their clinical attacking and coordination powered them to a commanding 3–0 (25–15, 25–16, 25–13) triumph.
Individual honours reflected Ghana’s dominance, with Benedicta Akorli named women’s MVP, while Imoro Alhassan took the men’s accolade.
The tournament featured 32 clubs from seven West African nations, highlighting the region’s growing competitiveness. Local Organising Committee Chairman Austin Luguterah praised the event’s success, describing it as a milestone for Ghana volleyball.
The twin victories underline Ghana’s rising influence in the sport and reinforce its ambition to host major international competitions.
