Quadri Aruna Leads Nigeria’s Charge at Centennial ITTF World Championships
Nigeria kicks off its campaign at the centenary ITTF World Team Championships in London, exactly 100 years after the inaugural 1926 event. In the men’s section, former world top-10 star Quadri Aruna fronts a Nigerian side drawn against Hong Kong, South Africa and Saudi Arabia. His vast experience will be crucial as they aim to advance beyond the group stage. The women’s team opens against Wales under the leadership of Fatimo Bello and Ajoke Ojomu. Rising talents Sukurat Aiyelabegan and Hope Udoaka will also look to impress amid late debates over the final squad selection. Across Africa, Egypt sends Omar Assar and world No.20 Hana Goda to spearhead its men’s and women’s teams, while Algeria debuts teenage sisters Tania and Jade Morice at senior level.
