The national team lost all its matches without winning a set, resulting in demotion to Africa Group IV for the first time in over fifteen years. The acting president of the national federation acknowledged the challenge, estimating a five-year timeline for recovery. She stated that the new strategy focuses on developing players through grassroots programs in schools and recruiting athletes from international colleges. The organization is also navigating past internal disputes and allegations of financial misconduct, which are now under official investigation. Despite a thin roster of elite competitors beyond one key player, the federation expressed confidence in its new direction. The primary objective remains restoring the team to its former competitive level through sustained development efforts. [/QUOTE]
