Wafalme’s hopes of finishing on the podium places evaporated in thin air on Friday night after their straight sets loss to hosts Egypt in their quarterfinal tie in Cairo.
Coach Gideon Tarus’s charges were powerless before the Pharaohs, losing in sets of 25-17, 25-19 and 27-25.
They will be fancying their chances against the West Africans who also lost 3-0 to Morocco (25-14, 25-10 and 25-15).
In the other classification ties, Tanzania will square off with Ghana as another East African nation, Burundi duel with Senegal.
