Malkia Strikers

The Malkia Strikers are Kenya’s national women’s volleyball team, a dominant force in African volleyball since the 1990s. Known for their ten African Championship titles—the most recent coming in Cameroon—they regularly qualify for global stages like the Olympics and FIVB World Championships. The team showcases a blend of experienced leaders and emerging talents: notable figures include captain Triza Atuka and setter Emmaculate Misoki, while dynamic hitters like Sharon Chepchumba and Pamela Adhiambo add firepower. After competing in recent Olympic Games, the Strikers are now preparing for the next FIVB Women’s World Championship under a refreshed coaching setup led by Japheth Munala. Their success stems from a combination of skill, teamwork, and resilience—qualities that have earned them the nickname “queen of the court” in Kenya and respect across the continent.
