Nigeria Continues Dominance at 2025 All-Africa Senior Badminton Championship in Cameroon
Nigeria continued their impressive run at the 2025 All-Africa Senior Badminton Championship in Douala, Cameroon, on Tuesday, February 11, securing back-to-back victories on the second day of the tournament. Determined to achieve a strong finish, Team Nigeria remains fully focused on the continental showdown, which runs from February 10 to 16. With a ten-player squad evenly split between male and female athletes, the team is competing across five categories—men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles—and has already established itself as a force to be reckoned with.
The West Africans began their campaign on Monday, February 10, with a dominant performance against Zambia, winning all five matches. Nigeria secured straight-set victories in the mixed doubles, women’s singles, and women’s doubles, while the men’s singles and doubles matches were more competitive but ended in 2-1 triumphs for Nigeria.
Building on that strong start, Nigeria delivered another flawless performance in the morning session of Tuesday, February 11, by sweeping Equatorial Guinea in straight sets across all five categories. The men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles, and mixed doubles teams showcased their superiority, maintaining Nigeria’s perfect run in the competition. The afternoon fixture against Mauritius posed a tougher challenge, but Nigeria once again proved their resilience. While Mauritius claimed the mixed doubles match in straight sets, Nigeria responded with commanding wins in the men’s and women’s singles. The men’s doubles match was a tightly contested battle, with Mauritius securing a 2-1 victory, but Nigeria’s women’s doubles team sealed the overall win with a hard-fought 2-1 triumph, ensuring three victories out of five matches.
With three consecutive wins and a near-perfect record, Nigeria has firmly positioned itself as a strong contender for the title and remains focused on maintaining their momentum and pushing for continental glory.
