Defending champions Cameroon beat Kenya 3-1 to win the Women's African Volleyball Championship in the Rwandan capital city of Kigali on Sunday.

The West African country has won the Africa women's volleyball title three times.

Both Cameroon and Kenya have qualified for the 2022 FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championship to be held in Poland and Netherlands in 2022.

In an earlier match, Morocco beat Nigeria to finish third. The North Africans clinched the bronze medal with the resounding victory over Nigeria 3-0 (25-19, 25-17, 25-18) to achieve the first medal since 1987 when they pulled off the silver medal. 

This is the fourth international volleyball competition that Rwanda has hosted in the last two years.
