The Tennista Foundation Inc has announced its goal to secure U.S. scholarships for young Nigerian tennis players, as the second edition of its Junior Tennis Tournament began on April 16, 2026. The event is taking place at the Lagos Country Club in Ikeja and will run until April 18, 2026. Hundreds of young players participated in the opening matches, which featured intense competition across age categories. The foundation aims to use the tournament as a platform to identify and support talented Nigerian athletes seeking international exposure and educational opportunities abroad. Organisers believe that linking athletic performance with academic prospects in the United States can create sustainable pathways for Nigerian youth.
