Nigeria’s women’s 3x3 wheelchair basketball team has
booked a place at the 2026 Commonwealth Games, achieving a historic first for
the country in the sport.
This qualification marks Nigeria’s debut appearance in
the wheelchair basketball category at the Games, signaling a major breakthrough
for the nation’s para-sports community.
The milestone reflects the steady growth and
increasing support for adaptive sports in Nigeria, particularly in wheelchair
basketball, which has seen notable development in recent years.
Participation at the 2026 Games is expected to elevate
the profile of para-athletes in the country while encouraging more inclusion
and investment in disability sports.
It is also seen as an opportunity to inspire upcoming
athletes and strengthen Nigeria’s presence on the global stage in wheelchair
basketball.
