Team Nigeria will play for pride when they take on the Czech Republic in a dead-rubber game on Tuesday (today) at the tournament ITTF World Table Tennis Championships in South Korea.
A depleted Nigerian men’s team lost three games at the tournament in the absence of their captain Quadri Aruna who took ill a few days before the commencement of the championships.
They were walked over by Japan while they suffered a 3-0 and 3-1 defeat to Chinese Taipei and Madagascar respectively and this automatically ruled them out of contention for the second round of the competition.
Like their male counterpart, Nigeria’s women’s team suffered defeat in all their matches losing to Mexico, Germany and Slovakia while their last group match on
Tuesday (today) is against Poland.
Just like Nigeria, Algeria and South Africa are the other African teams yet to record a win at the tourney in the group.
