Nigeria set to host ICC U19 Men’s World Cup Qualifier

Posted : 18 March 2025

The Nigeria Cricket Federation (NCF) has announced that it is ready to host five other nations for the International Cricket Council (ICC) Under-19 Men’s World Cup African Qualifier.


The tournament is scheduled to take place in Lagos, with matches to be held at the cricket ovals in Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) and the University of Lagos (Unilag) from March 26 to April 6.


Uyi Akpata, President of the federation, stated that the tournament is an opportunity to celebrate the growth of cricket on the continent.


“Nigeria is excited to welcome these talented young cricketers and their supporters to Lagos. Our nation is known for its warm hospitality and tremendous cricketing potential, and we are committed to making this qualifier a memorable experience for all.”


“This tournament is not just about competition; it’s about celebrating the growth of cricket in Africa and inspiring the next generation of players,” Akpata emphasized.


Kenya, Uganda, Namibia, Tanzania, and Sierra Leone will join Nigeria in competing for the continent’s sole ticket to the 2026 ICC Under-19 Men’s World Cup.


Meanwhile, Nigeria will be aiming to secure the ticket, having previously achieved the same feat in 2019 and competed at the 2020 World Cup in South Africa.
