The veterans’ competition brought nostalgia to the court as Kinyinya VC, featuring players such as Ndamukunda Flavien, Dusabimana Vincent “Gasongo,” Kwizera Pierre Marshal, and Gahire Mandela, defeated the Rwanda National Team Legends 2–1 (19–25, 25–21, 18–25). The legends’ side included former national players Yakan Guma Laurence, Nsengiyumva Alphonse, and Nshimiyimana Robert.

Speaking after the match, Dusabimana Vincent “Gasongo” said their participation aimed to motivate young players and strengthen ties between the current generation and the sport’s pioneers.

“We joined this tournament to inspire the young players and show them what’s possible if they stay committed,” he said.

Organized in partnership with the Rwanda Volleyball Federation (FRVB), the Medwell Pre-Season Tournament is expected to become an annual event, offering teams a competitive platform ahead of the national league, which kicks off on October 17, 2025.
