Posted : 09 November 2026

More than 300 male and female players are expected to compete at the 39th edition of the Dala Hard Court Tennis Championship, scheduled to take place in Kano from November 20 to 28, 2026.

The annual competition, which has remained a major fixture on Nigeria’s tennis calendar for nearly four decades, is expected to attract some of the country’s finest players as they compete for honours and prize money.

Tournament Director Alhaji Yusuf Datti announced the dates in Lagos, expressing confidence that preparations were progressing towards a successful and hitch-free championship.

Datti, who is also Vice President of the Nigerian Tennis Federation (NTF), said the organisers had secured the federation’s approval in keeping with the competition’s established tradition.

He assured participants and tennis fans that the tournament would provide a platform for both established and emerging talents to showcase their abilities across the various categories.

According to him, more than 300 players are expected to participate in the preliminary rounds and main competition, with attractive prizes awaiting the eventual winners.

The tournament director also commended the sponsors for their continued commitment and called on more corporate organisations and government institutions to support tennis development across the country.

He stressed that sustained investment and partnerships were essential to strengthening the sport, discovering new talents and creating more opportunities for Nigerian players.

Datti also praised the championship committee chairman, Alhaji Bashir Ahmad Gumel, and other members for their dedication to sustaining the competition over the years.

The 39th edition is expected to further reinforce the Dala Championship’s reputation as one of Nigeria’s longest-running tennis competitions, offering another opportunity to promote grassroots development and competitive excellence.
