The World Table Tennis (WTT) has confirmed that the 2024 WTT Contender Lagos will take place from June 17 to June 23 in the southwestern part of Nigeria.


The Nigerian city will host the first of three WTT events scheduled to take place in Africa this year, and it will be the second edition of the event in Lagos.


Dr. Kweku Tandoh, the Event Director of the WTT Contender Lagos, believes that Lagos’ impressive hosting of the 2023 edition earned the city another opportunity to host the best table tennis players in the world.


“We are indeed overwhelmed by the positive feedback from the management of WTT regarding the inaugural edition in 2023. Apart from the WTT team, the players and coaches are eager to return to Lagos following the massive support from the Lagos fans, as well as the warm hospitality of Lagosians,” Tandoh said.


“This year, we will build upon what we achieved in 2023 and aim to continue raising the bar when it comes to hosting major international competitions.


“The players are eager to come back to Lagos, and we will welcome them and continue to put Lagos on the world table tennis map.”


Tandoh, who is also the Chief Operating Officer of the African Table Tennis Federation (ATTF), commended the Lagos State Government, under the leadership of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for providing the conducive environment for table tennis to thrive and for the state’s unwavering support.


China’s Zhou Qihao clinched the men’s singles trophy in Lagos last year after a 4-1 victory against Germany’s Dimitrij Ovtcharov.
