Bolaji, currently ranked No. 2 in the world in her SL3 classification, will compete in the SL3 singles category, facing three opponents in her group. Meanwhile, Eze and Nnana will pair up in the SL4 doubles event, aiming to make their mark on the international stage.


A Nigeria Badminton Federation official expressed confidence in the team’s prospects, saying:

With growing recognition in global para-badminton, the Nigerian squad is determined to deliver standout performances and add to the nation’s achievements in the sport.
