Nigeria U-18 zooms into S/finals of IHF Trophy Africa Men Continental Phase

Posted : 05 November 2024

Nigeria's U-18 men's handball team has defeated host Ethiopia 47-31 at the IHF Trophy Africa Men Continental Phase in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.


After winning their first match against Zambia on Sunday, the team, led by Coach Emeka Nnamani, faced an Ethiopian side spurred on by their fans. However, they continued from where they left off the previous day, scoring many goals as the first half ended 25-16.

The second half saw Ethiopia improving as they started shooting better in the opening minutes, but Nigeria's goalkeeper, Samuel Obabori, put in an MVP performance once again, just as he did against Zambia, with vital saves while the outfield players continued to outscore the hosts to secure the 47-31 victory.


Obabori was rightly awarded the Most Valuable Player of the match.


An elated Coach Emeka Nnamani praised the resilience of his team for standing tall despite playing against the host nation and their fans.


"I am very happy because we achieved our objective in the match despite playing against the host and their fans. We knew that a victory for us would give us easy access to the semi-finals, and the boys did their part in actualizing our tactical plan," Coach Nnamani said.


Nigeria will play Cameroon in the semi-final of the competition.
