 Onitsha Country Club To Represent Anambra State In Dynamic Sports Club 2025


By Juliana Nwachukwu 


The Onitsha Country Club in Fegge, Onitsha South Local Government Area, Anambra State, is set to represent the state at the Dynamic Sports Club 2025 international tournament in Chicago, Illinois, USA, from September 17 to 20.


The Club's President, Anietonwa Kingsley Ajulufo, and Emeka Livinus Ejiofor will participate in tennis singles and ping pong, respectively, with the goal of returning to Nigeria with two trophies.


Speaking on the selection criteria, Ajulufo said that the invitation was extended to them to participate in the international tournament due to its affiliation with Dynamic Sports Chicago last year, adding that they considered their impressive record as five-time champions of the East of the Niger International Club Tennis League (ENIC) and four-time champions of the Fada Pita Tennis League.


"Onitsha Country Club selected two of us to represent the club because we possess visas to the United States. We hope that more interested members will be granted visas to attend next year's edition.


On the preparation and expectations, the president said that they have been training intensively for three weeks now, focusing on developing their stamina and refining their skills. He emphasized the importance of adapting their Nigerian tennis style to the Western style used in the tournament.


Ajulufo noted that the competition would be fierce, with younger players to participate, but expressed confidence in their ability to compete effectively by leveraging their techniques.


Speaking on the challenges to expect and goals, Ajulufo acknowledged that competing against world-class players in a Western setting would be challenging. However, he is determined to make a positive impression and learn from the experience. He hopes to implement new strategies and insights gained from the tournament to elevate Onitsha Country Club's status in Nigeria.


As the sole representative of Anambra State in the tennis tournament, Ajulufo said he feels a significant responsibility to uphold the club's reputation, adding that he is committed to conducting himself in a manner that reflects positively on his club and community, emphasizing the importance of discipline in tennis.


He conveyed a message of resilience and determination, characteristic of Nigerian athletes, saying, "Once it comes to Nigerians, we never give up." He expressed optimism about their chances of winning and wished himself and his teammate a safe journey to and fro the tournament.
