Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games bronze medallist Olufemi Alabi has secured Nigeria’s first gold medal at the ITTF World Para Future in Amman, Jordan. Meanwhile, Paris 2024 Paralympic Games bronze medallist Isau Ogunkunle is leading Nigeria’s quest for glory at the three-day tournament.
The eight-member Nigerian team, consisting of five men and three women, departed for Jordan over the weekend to earn ranking points ahead of the African Championships later this year. Sponsored by the National Sports Commission (NSC), this tournament marks their first major competition of the year and their first international outing since the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
