The Indoor Hall of the National Stadium was on Tuesday ignited as over 300 players across the country began the race for titles and cash rewards at the maiden Nigeria Table Tennis Federation (NTTF) National Championships.

With 18 titles at stake at the five-day N2.8m prize money championship, the team event kick-started the competition.

20 female teams and over 40 male teams will jostle for honours in the event while the para and junior, as well as cadet events, will begin on Wednesday 16th Nov at the National Training Centre.

According to the competition manager, John Peters, the turn-out of players and teams would be the biggest in the last three years as some of the older players, like Taofeek Maya are also taking part in the championship.

Maya, a former African champion recently won a tournament in Gabon has said that he hopes the championship can inspire and discover younger players for the sport.
