Nigeria's table tennis star, Kuti, headlines 2025 African Cup appearance in Tunis

Posted : 10 February 2025

Nigeria’s table tennis sensation, Matthew Kuti, has been included in the star-studded lineup for the 2025 African Cup, scheduled to take place in Tunis, Tunisia, from Feb. 25 to Feb. 27.  


The Nigeria Table Tennis Federation (NTTF) announced on Sunday that Kuti was selected due to his rising profile in the sport.  


Kuti has won four of the five major tournaments in Nigeria and has been the most consistent player in the country.  


“The Lagos State-born athlete recently added the Molade Okoya-Thomas Cup Men’s Singles title to his collection and will now compete against some of Africa’s finest stars in the Tunisian capital.  


“He will be aiming to secure a spot in the 2025 ITTF World Cup in Macao, China, in April.  


“Kuti’s growing reputation was evident when he bulldozed his way into the final of the Molade Okoya-Thomas Cup, outperforming top stars and former champions.  


“Having previously competed at the junior level of Africa’s longest-running table tennis tournament, the teenager dazzled fans and dignitaries last weekend with his exceptional display, earning the title at the 56th edition of the competition.”  


Since making his senior debut at the 2023 African Games in Accra, Ghana, Kuti has remained an integral member of the Nigerian men’s national team.  


“He competed in the 2024 and 2025 African Championships in Tunis and Addis Ababa, where he won a silver medal with the team.  


“The unassuming yet fan-favorite Kuti will head to Tunis to compete against both seasoned and young talents in Africa, vying for one of the four available slots in the Men’s Singles.  


“He will team up with the Nigerian contingent, coached by the legendary Segun Toriola and Dotun Omoniyi.  


“The tournament in Tunis will provide African players with the opportunity to qualify for the ITTF World Cup, alongside regulars such as Quadri Aruna, Omar Assar, and Dina Meshref.  


“Semifinalists in the Men’s and Women’s Singles will secure their spots for the event in Macao, China, in April 2025.”
