Nigeria Davis Cup Team Arrives in Morocco for Tie
The Nigeria Davis Cup team has arrived in Morocco for their World Group II tie against Morocco, scheduled for September 19 and 20 in Rabat. The matches will take place at the Union Sportive des Cheminots de Tennis du Maroc.
The Nigerian team consists of former national No. 1 Daniel Adeleye, current top-ranked player Canice Abua, Michael Emmanuel, Abubakar Yusuf, and coach Benson Ishicheli, along with four officials from the Nigeria Tennis Federation. They departed Nigeria early on Monday and landed in Morocco at approximately 11:25 am, where they will continue preparations for the tie.
Prior to their departure, the players trained for over a week at the Lagos Country Club, focusing on fitness and match readiness. Nigeria secured their World Group II position by defeating Uzbekistan 3-1 at the Lagos Lawn Tennis Club in February, which enhanced their confidence and improved their Davis Cup rankings.
