NVL Playoffs: Nemostars disqualified, Elyon headed to finals

​In a stunning turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the volleyball community, Elyon VC has been awarded a spot in the National Volleyball League finals following a successful petition against Nemostars VC.

​The decision, communicated in an official letter from Uganda Volleyball Federation (UVF) President Sadik Zaid Nasiwu dated March 28, 2026, comes after a swift investigation into the eligibility of certain players fielded by Nemostars.

​The dispute began when Elyon VC filed two formal petitions challenging the inclusion of two specific players in the Nemostars lineup, Salva Maria and Federicko Mujinya.

​In response to the allegations, the UVF President appointed a special committee of three executive members to investigate.

The committee convened on March 27, 2026, to review the evidence and the 2022 UVF bylaws.

​The committee’s findings were definitive: both Salva Marial and Federicko Mujinya were found to be in breach of the UVF Constitution and the 2022 UVF bylaws.

​As a result of this technical violation, the UVF has overturned the match results. The official ruling states, ​Elyon VC is awarded a 3-0 win over Nemostars VC.

Elyon VC officially progresses to the National Volleyball League finals. The ruling serves as a stern reminder to all clubs regarding the importance of administrative diligence.

In his closing remarks, President Nasiwu emphasised a commitment to the integrity of the sport.

​”We would like to advise anyone to follow the constitution, the rules and regulations of the game of volleyball in the country.”

​While Nemostars, a powerhouse in Ugandan volleyball, will undoubtedly be devastated by the disqualification, Elyon VC now prepares for the biggest stage in the country.

Fans find themselves in a cold mood after a massive shift in the two teams that will take part of the Mens’ final.
