This year’s ITTF Africa Cup is set to showcase the continent’s rising stars as they prepare to challenge the established order when the tournament kicks off in Tunis from February 25 to 27.

Nigeria’s Matthew Kuti and Tunisia’s Wassim Essid are eager to make their mark this year. Both players demonstrated their potential at the 2024 African Championships in Ethiopia, with Kuti making his debut at the event.

Essid, a home favorite and a key player for the Tunisian national team, aims to disrupt the dominance of seasoned stars like Egypt’s Omar Assar and Nigeria’s Quadri Aruna. Having excelled in the cadet and junior divisions in Africa, Essid is now looking to achieve similar success at the senior level. Fresh from his international exploits, he will rely on home support to secure a spot at the ITTF World Cup.

Similarly, Kuti has shown consistent performance in Nigeria, winning four national tournaments. His participation in the 2023 African Games in Ghana has boosted his confidence in major competitions. Kuti’s impressive performance at the 2023 African Championship, where he defeated several senior players, indicates that he is ready to make a significant impact in Tunis later this month.
