Nigeria will host the African qualifiers between January 29 and February 3, 2024, at the Indoor Sports Hall of the National Stadium in Surulere, Lagos. The host team will compete against Egypt, ranked third globally, and Morocco, positioned 19th, for a spot at the Paralympic Games.
In group B, Zimbabwe will square off against Rwanda, Algeria and Libya during the weeklong competition. The Nigerian men’s team will get their campaign underway with a game against Kenya, and the women will square off against Zimbabwe.
