Nigeria’s men’s and women’s beach handball teams will not be part of the maiden edition of the African Beach Handball Nations Championship.
The inaugural tournament is scheduled to take place in Lomé, Togo, from April 24 to 27, 2026.
In the men’s category, host nation Togo will compete alongside Benin Republic, Kenya, Côte d’Ivoire, Tunisia, and Mali.
The women’s event will feature Togo, Kenya, Mali, and Benin Republic.
The championship is expected however to serve as a platform to promote beach handball across Africa and provide teams with valuable international exposure.
