The team’s resilience paid off, Gabriel Olufunmilayo, Nigeria’s men number one seed, gave the Egyptians a run, but ultimately, Egypt took the top spot.
Sunday Wilson Egberipou, President of the Nigeria Squash Federation, is happy with the team’s performance. “That Nigeria finished second behind Egypt at the continental championship is worthy of commendation,” he said. “The West African powerhouse worked towards the top spot.
