Nigeria’s Omotayo and Kuti advance to ITTF African Championship Men’s doubles final
After missing out on a chance to compete in the Mixed Doubles final, Nigeria’s table tennis team secured a spot in the Men’s Doubles final at the ITTF African Championship.
Olajide Omotayo and Mathew Kuti displayed grit and skill, defeating Egypt’s Ghallab Aly and Helmy Mahmoud 3-2 in a thrilling semi-final match.
While Nigeria’s performance in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, has been inconsistent—failing to reach the singles final—the men’s doubles pair now carries the nation’s hopes.
In the final, Omotayo and Kuti will battle against fellow Nigerians Muizz Adegoke and AbdulBasit Abdulfatai on Saturday, ensuring that the championship title will belong to Nigeria.
The all-Nigerian final promises to be a closely contested encounter, with both pairs eager to bring home the prestigious trophy.
