Eniola Bolaji Leads Other Nigerian Stars to Para-Badminton World Championship in Bahrain

Posted : 08 February 2026

World No. 2 SL3/Paralympic bronze medallist, Eniola Bolaji, alongside two other players, has arrived in Bahrain for the Para-Badminton World Championship.

The championship is scheduled to hold from Feb. 8 to Feb. 14.

Bolaji will be competing in her second international outing of the year, following an impressive gold medal performance at the Egypt International Championship in January.

She is reaffirmed in her status as one of the world’s top para-badminton players.

Nigeria will also be represented by 2024 Paralympian Chigozie Jeremiah in the men’s SL4 category, while Chinyere Okoro will fly the nation’s flag in the women’s SL4 event.

Speaking after the team’s departure, President of the Badminton Federation of Nigeria (BFN), Francis Orbih, expressed strong confidence in the athletes’ readiness and ability to deliver.

According to Orbih, the players have undergone a month-long intensive training camp in Abuja and are fully prepared to compete at the highest level in Bahrain.

“Nigeria’s para-badminton players are once again ready to represent the country on the world stage.

“The athletes have shown great dedication and commitment during the training camp in Abuja.

“Eniola Bolaji is currently in the best form of her career after her victory at the Egypt International Championship.

“Similarly, Chigozie Jeremiah and Chinyere Okoro are well prepared and motivated to win laurels for the nation,” Orbih said.

Orbih also commended the National Sports Commission and GIG Logistics for their continued support, noting that their contributions have been instrumental in enabling the athletes’ participation.
