The Rwanda Volleyball Federation (FRVB) has announced changes in the 2024-2025 season playoff matches, introducing a different format from previous years.
Starting on Friday and Saturday, March 13-14, 2025, Petit Stade in Remera
will host the playoff matches that will determine the champions in both the
men's and women's categories.
During a press conference held on Thursday, FRVB officials revealed that
the format of these matches has been modified. This season, a team that wins
two matches will be crowned champion, whereas in previous seasons, teams had to
win three out of five matches. If both teams win one match each, a decisive
third match will be played to determine the champion.
Kubwimana Gertrude, the FRVB Technical Director, explained that this new format
aims to give Rwandan players more opportunities to represent their national
teams while also aligning with the schedule set by the African Volleyball
Confederation (FIVB).
On the other hand, FRVB President Ngarambe Rafael praised the high level
of competition seen throughout the season, expressing confidence that fans will
witness thrilling playoff matches.
