Nigeria also features a women's national beach volleyball team.[3] At the beginning of 2019 the team was in Yaoundé in Cameroon where Francisca Ikhiede and Tochukwu Nnourge won the gold medal at the Camtel International Beach Volleyball Championship. They won the final match despite the cheers of the crowd as their opposition was the Cameroon team.[4]
The Nigerian team were runners up when Kenya qualified for the postponed 2020 Summer Olympics. Only four African countries have sent teams to the Olympics.[5]
