VC suspends two players over misconduct"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a statement released late Saturday, the club said the decision follows \u201cunacceptable behaviour during GMT 2026 that adversely affected the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The club also reiterated its disciplinary stance, stating that it \u201cmaintains a zero-tolerance policy on misconduct\u201d and remains committed to \u201cupholding the highest standards of discipline and professionalism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The club recently appointed Kwizera Marchal as head coach, though reports suggest internal tensions within the team, particularly between management and players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sources indicate that delayed player salaries have also contributed to unrest, with some players reportedly refusing to feature due to unpaid wages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2026 Kwibuka Volleyball Tournament concludes on Sunday with classification matches across both men\u2019s and women\u2019s categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the men\u2019s category, REG VC will face Police VC in the third-place playoff, while APR VC meet Kepler VC in the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the women\u2019s competition, Police WVC take on Kepler WVC for third place, while APR WVC face KPC WVC in the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
