Despite hosting the tournament for the first time in 11 years, Malkia Strikers are wary of perennial rivals Cameroon and Egypt, with the three teams set to battle for the single ticket to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
The tournament winner will qualify for the Olympics, while the top three teams will represent Africa at the 2027 World Championships in Canada and the United States.
The championship has attracted 16 countries, with the Democratic Republic of Congo already in Nairobi.
The FIVB president, alongside his four vice presidents, is also expected in Nairobi for the championship.
