Nigeria secure Promotion to Davis Cup World Group II

Nigeria Davis Cup Team has earned promotion to Davis Cup World Group II after defeating Uzbekistan Davis Cup Team 3–1 in their playoff tie.

The result confirms Nigeria’s return to World Group II for the first time in almost 30 years. The tie was played on home ground, where Nigeria won enough matches to seal the contest before the final rubber.

Nigeria’s promotion follows consecutive playoff appearances in 2024 and 2025, with the breakthrough coming in 2026.

World Group II is one level below World Group I and will feature stronger teams from around the world. This promotion for Nigeria means they will have tougher matches ahead, but it also brings greater exposure and opportunity for Nigerian players on the international stage.
