Host selection
On 29 December 2025, the African Volleyball Confederation announced that the 25th edition of the Men's African Nations Volleyball Championship would be held in Kinshasa, DR of Congo from 5 to 15 September 2026.[2][3]
On 16 August 2026, the Tunisian Volleyball Federation announced, based on the decision of the Executive Committee of the African Volleyball Confederation that the tournament would be moved to Tunisia due to the Ebola outbreak in DR Congo, and the tournament dates were changed from 15 to 25 September 2026.[4][5] This is the seventh time that Tunisia has hosted the tournament.[6][7]
