Dakar 2026: Japan, Thailand Overcome Nigeria in Two Events

Posted : 01 November 2026

Nigeria’s medal pursuit in beach volleyball and table tennis encountered setbacks as the country’s representatives suffered defeats at the ongoing 2026 Summer Youth Olympic Games in Dakar, Senegal.

In beach volleyball, Nigeria’s Joy and Pamela lost 2-1 to Japan’s Kato and Nakagawa in a closely contested encounter.

The Japanese pair secured victory by winning two sets, leaving the Nigerian duo with one set as they battled to stay competitive.

Nigeria also suffered disappointment in the mixed doubles table tennis event, where Kuti Matthew and Ojo Favour fell 3-1 to Thailand’s Preechayan Thitaphat and Vuttiriyagul Kulapassr.

The Thai combination produced a strong performance to overcome the Nigerian youngsters and advance in the competition.

The defeats represent a setback for Team Nigeria, whose 19-member contingent is competing across six sporting disciplines at the Games.

The Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games have brought together emerging athletes from across the world, providing an international platform for young talents to test their abilities and gain valuable competitive experience.

Nigeria will be hoping for improved performances in its remaining events as the contingent continues its campaign in Senegal.
