In a statement released late Saturday, the club said the decision follows “unacceptable behaviour during GMT 2026 that adversely affected the team.”

The club also reiterated its disciplinary stance, stating that it “maintains a zero-tolerance policy on misconduct” and remains committed to “upholding the highest standards of discipline and professionalism.”

The sanctions come after Gisagara VC arrived late for its quarterfinal match against Police VC, resulting in a walkover defeat and elimination from the competition.

The club recently appointed Kwizera Marchal as head coach, though reports suggest internal tensions within the team, particularly between management and players.

Sources indicate that delayed player salaries have also contributed to unrest, with some players reportedly refusing to feature due to unpaid wages.

The 2026 Kwibuka Volleyball Tournament concludes on Sunday with classification matches across both men’s and women’s categories.

In the men’s category, REG VC will face Police VC in the third-place playoff, while APR VC meet Kepler VC in the final.

In the women’s competition, Police WVC take on Kepler WVC for third place, while APR WVC face KPC WVC in the final.
