Team Nigeria finished the tournament with an impressive medal haul — 3 Gold, 4 Silver, and 9 Bronze — showcasing the nation’s growing strength in para sports.

 

The week-long event brought together top para badminton athletes from around the world, but it was the home team that left a lasting mark. From powerful smashes to unwavering resilience on the court, Nigeria’s para athletes proved that excellence has no limits.

“This victory is not just about medals; it’s about the spirit of determination and the message that ability goes beyond limitations,” said one official from the Nigerian Paralympic Committee.

 

With heads held high and the Green and White flag flying proudly, Team Nigeria’s achievements have once again inspired a nation and opened new doors for para athletes across Africa.
