Nigeria’s table tennis Star Aruna Quadri has qualified for the ITTF World Cup in Macao. The veteran’s achievement further shows his status as Africa’s most consistent global contender.
Aruna booked one of the four spots allocated to Africa after defeating Egypt’s Mostafa Badr. The quarter-final clash took place at the ITTF African Championships in Benghazi, Libya.
The Nigerian table tennis star overcame his Egyptian opponent in straight sets, 4-0. That dominant performance sealed his ticket to the World Cup in emphatic fashion.
