Nigeria and Togo Set to Defend Titles at 2025 ITTF Africa West Regional Championships

All eyes turn to Lagos as Nigeria and Togo prepare to defend their crowns at the 2025 ITTF Africa West Regional Table Tennis Championships, scheduled for July 16 to 19.

Hosted by Nigeria, the regional competition will welcome top athletes from across West Africa. Nigeria, the defending women’s team champion, and Togo, the reigning men’s team champion, will be seeking to maintain dominance in one of Africa’s most competitive table tennis regions.

Among the top contenders is Matthew Kuti, Nigeria’s rising star, who won the singles championship last year. Kuti is now aiming to make history by becoming the first Nigerian male to win back-to-back singles titles at the event.

“I’m excited to compete on home soil,” said Kuti. “The pressure is real, but so is the passion. We’re ready.”

The event is expected to draw enthusiastic fans, youth participants, and regional officials, with international scouts and media also watching closely.

With table tennis gaining traction across Africa, the Lagos tournament could be a key moment in spotlighting West African talent and fostering the sport’s development at grassroots levels.
