#RoadToTokyo: Ghana didn’t show up at tournament and lose to Tunisia by forfeit, Egypt win vs. Algeria

The start of the 2019 Africans Volleyball Olympic Qualifier in Cairo, Egypt, has started unpleasantly: even though 7 teams have confirmed their participation in the competition in Cairo, Egypt (Algeria, Botswana, Cameroon, Egypt, Ghana, Tunisia, and Niger), only 5 of them are actually registered for the tournament. Out of these 5 teams, one didn’t show up, Ghana. As a result, they lost the match against the continental champions Tunisia by a forfeit.
In the other match of an opening day, the hosts beat Algeria in 4 sets.
