Nigeria's Wheelchair Basketball Women Make Commonwealth History with Maiden Victory

Posted : 28 July 2026

Nigeria's women's wheelchair basketball team etched their names into the history books on Monday after claiming the country's first-ever victory in the sport at the Commonwealth Games with a hard-fought 7-6 win over India in Glasgow.

The dramatic triumph secured Nigeria a place in the quarter-finals, where the team will face Australia on Tuesday for a place in the last four.

The Nigerians entered their final group game needing a victory to keep their campaign alive after suffering defeats to Wales and Scotland in their opening two matches.

Faced with a must-win situation, the team responded with determination and resilience, edging India by a single point in a fiercely contested encounter to revive their medal hopes.

The historic result not only marked Nigeria's maiden wheelchair basketball victory at the Commonwealth Games but also kept alive the team's dream of reaching the podium.

Attention now shifts to the quarter-final against Australia, where the Nigerian side will be aiming to produce another upset and book a place in the semi-finals of the competition.

With confidence boosted by their landmark victory, Nigeria will look to carry their momentum into the knockout stage against one of the tournament's strongest teams. A win over Australia would secure another historic milestone and move the team within one victory of a Commonwealth Games medal.
