Nigeria Davis Cup Team Heads to Morocco for Key Tie
On September 15, 2026, Nigeria's national tennis team departed for Rabat, Morocco, to compete in a crucial Davis Cup World Group II tie against Morocco scheduled for September 19-20 at the Union Sportive des Cheminots de Tennis du Maroc. This match is significant as Nigeria seeks its first-ever win over Morocco, having lost all four previous encounters.
A victory would propel Nigeria into the Davis Cup World Group I for the first time. The team, which trained for three weeks in preparation, is led by Head Coach Benson Ishicheli and includes players Daniel Adeleye, Canice Abua, Michael Emmanuel, and Yusuf Abubakar.
They will be joined by Oluwaseun Ogunsakin, who has recent Grand Slam experience at Roland Garros and the US Open, completing a five-man squad. Nigeria qualified for this tie after defeating Uzbekistan in February, marking a return to this level of Davis Cup competition after three decades.
