00:00Libya is making a bold return to African sport with the 46th African Men's Volleyball Clubs Championship currently underway in Masrata.
00:09The event brings together 23 clubs from 9 African nations including Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria and Kenya
00:16and showcases not only athletic talent but also a nation on the path to renewal.
00:22First of all, I think that Libya is very structured. I thought otherwise, even though it's my first time to participate in the competition in Libya.
00:33And speaking of the organization, I think that for their first one, it's possible. Everything is well organized.
00:42Held in the refurbished Mishrata International Sports Hall, the championship is backed by more than 1,500 security and medical personnel
00:51ensuring a smooth and safe experience. Jean-Claude Malputa, President of the Control Committee, praised Libya's efforts.
01:02I would say that overall things are going well and that the organizer, Libya, has done its best put in the conditions necessary for the competition.
01:14For fans, the tournament offers a glimpse of a new Libya striving to reconnect with Africa and the world.
01:27My son and I arrived early to reserve a spot so we could watch the match and support Alsweli, the team we chair for.
01:37I came here to stand behind the team I support, hoping they will win the competition. I wish that they can claim the title here just as they did in Algeria.
01:50As teams compete, Libya sends a clear message it's back, stronger, safer and ready to lead the game.
