African Games medalists, Matthew Kuti and Hope Udoaka, showed class against experienced players to emerge as the new West African champions at the 2024 International Table Tennis Federation, ITTF West Africa Regional Championships in Lome, Togo.
The Nigeria National Champions were among the more than 32 men and 29 women from Benin Republic, Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Nigeria, Senegal, and host Togo, who participated in the championship.
They competed in four events team and singles for men and women.
The three-day tournament was organised to select teams that will represent the region at this year’s African Championships taking place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
In spite of not playing to his best in the team event, which allowed Togo to dethrone Nigeria as the regional champions, Kuti ensured he was flawless in the singles event.
