Nigeria’s second-ranked table tennis star, Edem Offiong, is delight after she entered the history books as the first Nigerian to win the European Cup Women’s Table Tennis title.
It was also the first European title for ASD club.
Offiong, currently ranked 142nd in the world, helped her Italian club record the famous victory over Hungary’s SH ITB Sport Club in the final over two legs in Budapest.
The Italian team emerged victorious in both legs, with a 3-2 win in the first match and a 3-0 win in the second match.
Offiong recovered from an opening set defeat to beat Maria Fazekas in the second leg after she had thrashed the Hungarian in the first leg.
