Abubasutu backs Harare crowd to power Zim men’s volleyball Olympic dream

ZIMBABWE men’s volleyball head coach Itsanangu Abubasutu says his team has been training to embrace pressure, not fear it, as the CAVB Olympic Qualifier serves off in Harare today.

Only the tournament winner will book Africa’s sole ticket to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, but Abubasutu insists the Harare crowd gives the hosts an edge rather than added weight.

Zimbabwe men’s team kick off their campaign against Zambia at Sunrise Sports Club Courts at 5pm.
