Quadri Aruna and Olajide Omotayo, two of Nigeria’s best table tennis players, will represent Africa in the WTT US Smash 2025, which kicks off on July 3 at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.
Omotayo, a fellow countryman, starts his campaign in the preliminary round, while Aruna, Africa’s top-ranked player, has guaranteed direct entry into the men’s singles main draw.
Now training between the U.S. and France, Omotayo is no stranger to the international spotlight. A strong showing in Las Vegas could be a career boost and a confidence builder ahead of the Paris Olympics later this month. His run will be watched closely, especially by African fans eager to see both him and Aruna progress deep into the tournament.
