Nigeria Makes History With First-Ever Olympic Beach Volleyball Qualification by NaijaphiliaBlog(op): 11:18pm On Aug 22
On Saturday 22 August 2026, for the first time ever, Nigeria’s female beach volleyballers qualified for the Olympic Games after winning Morocco 2-0 in the final of the 2026 African Women’s Beach Volleyball Championship in Alexandria, Egypt.

Nigeria dominated the match, taking the two sets 21-17 and 21-10 to secure the country’s slot at the 2028 Olympic Games which will hold in Los Angeles, USA.

It also ends the country’s 16-year wait to qualify for the Olympics. On 3 previous occasions, Nigeria reached the African qualifying finals only to end as runners up.

Apparently, the 4th time was the charm for the country’s lady spikers.

Congratulations, Nigeria!

U-17 Golden Eaglets: Last qualified for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup. They failed to qualify for 2025 and also did not qualify for 2026.
