Yes, players are pregnant but won’t miss Championship-Federation comes clean

After a photo stating that the Kenyan Volleyball team might miss the FIVB Volleyball Women’s World Championship in Japan because all the team members were pregnant, many didn’t believe.

The Kenya Volleyball Federation (KVF) has come out to state that the team won’t miss the championship but, it’s true the members are pregnant.

A media presser by the federation shared that five members are actually pregnant but that won’t stop them from heading to Japan to compete.

“We also want to note that the aforementioned (pregnant) players (Brackides Agala, Esther Wangeci, Lydia Maiyo, Mildred Odwako and Ruth Jepngetich) served the national team in the best possible way during their time but have not been drafted in the provisional squad currently training at the Kasarani indoor stadium ahead of the international tournament,” read the statement.

Still going

They shot down a photo that has been doing round online stating that they are set to miss the event.

“Therefore, it is really uncalled for to say the team is handicapped when as a country we have amazing talent to choose from.”
