Nigeria Customs Leads Volleyball League as Finals Approach

The third Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs Service Volleyball Premier League will commence its second and decisive phase on October 15, 2026, at the Indoor Sports Hall, Package B of the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja. This two-week event, running until October 30, will determine the championship following a competitive opening phase that ended on June 27.

In the women's standings, Nigeria Customs leads with 34 points, just one point ahead of the NSCDC Spikers, who have 33 points. In the men's category, Nigeria Customs also tops the table with 36 points, while the Spikers follow in second place with 29 points.

A significant factor in this phase is the participation of overseas-based professionals, as over 20 Nigerian players from Asia, Europe, and North Africa have been cleared to compete for local clubs, enhancing the league's competitiveness. However, the potential absence of some foreign-based players may lead to tactical changes and unexpected outcomes.

Organizers praised the CGC management for their investment in top-tier equipment, which has boosted team morale.
