Posted : 27 December 2024

Nigeria and Ghana will compete for honors once again, but this time in table tennis, as players from both countries in the diaspora are set to stage a two-day event in Ibadan.

 

Following the football rivalry between the two nations, top ping pong players from both countries will converge at the Ibadan Recreation Club for the invitational tournament, scheduled for December 29th and 30th.

 

A total of 32 players, ranked by the International Table Tennis Federation, are expected to participate, promising an exciting year-end entertainment for table tennis fans in Ibadan.

 

NSCDC table tennis coach and head of the organizing team for the tournament, Wale Ajetunmobi, stated that four players will arrive from Ghana on Sunday.

 

“We are excited that the competition is taking better shape this year with players coming from Ghana. We sent a letter to the Table Tennis Federation of Ghana to send us their four best players. They will arrive on Sunday.

 

“Top national players from Nigeria will also join them, with a total of 28 Nigerian players arriving in Ibadan on Sunday.

 

“This competition will be more exciting this time, and all the arrangements have been concluded for a successful event.”

 

The cash prize for the men’s singles winner is N300,000, with the runner-up receiving N200,000, while third place finishers will each take home N100,000.

 

The four quarter-finalists will share N40,000.

 

David Fayele of the Nigerian Army, from Lagos, is the defending champion of the tournament, which enters its second edition this year. He defeated Kehinde Oladele of the Nigerian Police from Oyo State last year.
