APR women will have no time to rest as they begin the league campaign on Friday, just four days after lifting the Nyerere Cup after seeing off Tanzania Prisons in three sets (25-20, 25-23 and 25-21) in the final to finish the campaign unbeaten.

"The Nyerere tournament was a good experience for us and, if we want to keep our level up, we need to win our upcoming league matches. We will try to finish in the top four so that we can make it to the playoffs," the former Rwanda Revenue Authority coach said.

"We have to build a better team and, with the coaching staff we have, we can achieve more. We want to win titles of every competition we participate in this season and this is only the beginning."

APR will be looking to add another title in the cabinet after winning four trophies in 2024 including the league title, Kayumba Memorial Tournament and Genocide Memorial Tournament.
