Stallions Defeat Ghana but Fall to Morocco in Sevens Series
Nigeria’s senior national men’s Sevens team, the Stallions, participated in the African Men’s Sevens Series held in Kampala, Uganda. They began their campaign with a strong performance against Ghana, winning decisively 26–5.
Captain Oghenesuvwe Obano was instrumental in this victory, leading the team to establish control early in the match. After taking a 14–5 lead, Nigeria maintained pressure on Ghana, ultimately securing the win.
However, the Stallions faced a tougher challenge in their second match against Morocco. Despite expectations of a competitive game, Morocco dominated, leading 14–5 at halftime and extending their lead to 36–5 by the end of the match.
With one win and one loss in their opening matches, the Stallions are set to face Zimbabwe in their final pool match, which is anticipated to be another significant test as they aim to gain momentum for the quarter-finals.
