A commanding performance by the Omnisports Association of the Republican Guard (Assom GR) culminated in their second consecutive provincial volleyball championship on Sunday, July 6th. The team defeated Kwan IVB in a decisive match widely considered the de facto championship final, solidifying their position as a leading force in Gabonese volleyball.

Heading into the final day of competition, the Assom GR and Kwan IVB were separated by a mere single point, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown. The direct confrontation proved to be a true final, with the Assom GR ultimately imposing their tactical discipline and mental fortitude to secure a straight-sets victory (3–0).

Throughout the 2025 season, the Assom GR demonstrated a consistent level of performance built on an experienced roster, impeccable game discipline, and astute decision-making in critical moments. While Kwan IVB presented a formidable challenge with their technical skills and relentless resistance, they ultimately lacked the power and consistency to overcome the Assom GR. “The team relied on an experienced collective,” a source close to the team stated, “and that experience proved crucial in the final match.”
