Kenya Volleyball Federation (KVF) Deputy President Paul Bitok, who now doubles up as the technical coordinator for both national teams, said they have agreed with foreign clubs to allow the trio to link up with the national teams if they qualify for African Games
Adhiambo is attached to GS Panionios in Greece, while Mogeni and Kipkorir are away with Al Ahli Sports Club and Mouloudia Boussalem in Qatar and Tunisia respectively
Only hosts Egypt, Burundi and Kenya have confirmed participation in the event that will see top two nations book slots for the African Games set for Accra, Ghana in March
Kenyan internationals, Enock Mogeni, Simion Kipkorir and Veronica Adhiambo will not be part of the national men's and women's volleyball teams that will compete in the upcoming African Games Zone Five qualifiers set for January 22 to 28 in Cairo, Egypt.
The three were to join the national teams that have intensified training at Nyayo National Stadium gymnasium in Nairobi. However, they will not link up with the teams due to club commitments.
