Cairo, Egypt, January 26, 2014- The African Volleyball Confederation (CAVB) will organise Continental qualifiers for the 2014 Youth Olympic Games that will be held in Nanjing, China from August 16 to 28, 2014.

The qualification tournaments will determine the six vacancies in both genders for the Youth Olympic Games. The African qualifiers for men and women will be held in two separate countries.
