3 Star Stallion have emerged champions of the Kano Volleyball Club Championship (KVC 2.0) after defeating Black Dolphin 3–0 in straight sets in the final held at the Bukavo Barracks Volleyball Pitch in Kano.

The thrilling final marked the conclusion of the second edition of the fast-growing volleyball tournament, which featured both male and female categories and attracted clubs and players from across northern Nigeria, including Sokoto, Kaduna, Abuja, Katsina, and Jigawa States.

In his opening remarks, the Chairman of the Organising Club, Michael Moses, described the championship as a dream that has evolved into a reality, highlighting the growth and technical improvements witnessed since the maiden edition. 

“When we started this journey last year, our goal was to create something the volleyball community would look forward to every year,” Moses said.

“This year, KVC 2.0 has exceeded expectations, with players coming from far and near, showing how much the championship has grown beyond what we initially imagined.”

He explained that this year’s edition featured two categories — male and female — with teams allowed to invite external players to strengthen their squads, thereby raising the competition’s standard and diversity.

The women’s category produced exciting matches, culminating in Black Dolphin successfully defending their title to claim gold for the second consecutive year, while Spikers Female took silver and ECWA Dragon clinched bronze.

Moses also commended the tournament’s partners and supporters for their role in sustaining the championship. 

In his closing remarks, the Commander of Bukavo Barracks, Brigadier General A. Tukur, who served as the Special Guest of Honour, commended the organizers and participants for promoting unity and youth engagement through sports.
