New players gain experience as Nepal exits CAVA Women’s Volleyball without a medal

The CAVA Women’s Volleyball Championship began on May 22, 2026, the very day Nepal observes “National Volleyball Day”, and the Nepali women’s volleyball team had set its sights firmly on winning the title. Even if the title wasn’t possible, there was hope of finishing in the top three and claiming at least some medal.

But when the championship concluded on May 29, 2026, Nepal had failed even to make the top three. Defeated by India in the third-place match, Nepal ended up without a medal on its own home court. Nepal started the tournament with a loss to India in the very first game and ended it the same way, losing 3–1 in sets.
