It could be recalled that the Sierra Leone male and female national Under-23 team were denied entry visa by the Polish Embassy in Abuja thereby denying them the opportunity to compete at the FIVB U-23 Male and Female Beach Volleyball Championships in Poland.
It was not the first time Sierra Leone’s Volleyball team suffered from such decision, last year the team was refused visa for entry to Portugal.
