If all the Kenyan sides win their respective round of 16 matches, Prisons and KCB will face off in the quarters.
Kenya Volleyball Federation (KVF) champions Kenya Prisons who finished third in last year's continental outing have landed Pool A's fourth-place finishers VCL of Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Josp Barasa-led side is expected to have it easy against the their fellow East Africans who have not won a match or a set in the three group-stage matches.

Bankers KCB, on their part, face Nigeria's Customs who were in Pool D, that had the other Kenyan representatives Kenya Pipeline. The Nigerians finished third with one victory against Ethiopia's El Wak Wings.
KCB who lost to Carthage in the group stage will be hoping to withstand Customs' who are expected to put up a fight with the last eight in mind.
However, Japeth Munala boasts a star-studded side that is able to handle everything the Nigerians will throw at them for a chance to finish in a better position than they did in their last outing on the stage where they finished ninth.

Paul Gitau's oil merchants Kenya Pipeline have a date with Uganda's Ndejje University who finished third behind KCB in Pool B. The varsity side managed one win against ASEC Mimosa and should be no challenge for a strong Pipeline.
A win for Pipeline pits them against the winner of the round of 16 match between FAP of Cameroon and Ethiopia’s National Alcohol.
