The match at Kenya's home venue saw Egypt dominate from the start with strong defense and counterattacks. Kenya struggled despite some impressive digs from players like Veronica Adhiambo Oluoch. The final was part of the 2026 CAVB tournament, with Egypt winning all matches convincingly. Kenya reached the final but fell short. Egypt's players contributed significantly, though specific Kenya scorers are noted: Nada Ahmed Houssameldein with 14 points, Mariam Metwally Mohamed Morsy 12, Veronica Adhiambo Oluoch 11, Elizabeth Marian Sokoiyo 10.
