Nigerian table tennis star, Quadri Aruna, dominated the 2024 ITTF Africa Cup final in Kigali, Rwanda, defeating Egypt’s Mohamed El Beiali in a convincing 4-0 (11-6, 11-7, 12-10, 11-2) victory.
Aruna, the current African number one, displayed exceptional form throughout the match, leaving little room for his opponent to challenge. This triumph marks a significant milestone for the Nigerian player, who reclaims the coveted title after a seven-year hiatus.
“I never gave up on my dream,” declared Aruna after his victory. “It doesn’t matter where you come from. I came from a small place in Oyo state in Nigeria,” he added, highlighting his determination and the power of perseverance.
This win holds special significance for Aruna, who had previously reached the Africa Cup final four times in the past seven years. His unwavering dedication and resilience finally paid off, securing him the prestigious title once again.
