The Nigerian capital, Abuja, is gearing up to host the World Polo Championship Qualifiers, a move aimed at boosting the country’s sports tourism. According to reports from multiple sources, the Nigerian Sports Commission (NSC) has approved the hosting of the qualifiers, set to take place in November.
While the exact date of the event has not been confirmed, the hosting of the qualifiers in Abuja marks a significant step towards promoting sports tourism in Nigeria. This is not the first time Abuja has played host to such high-profile events. In 2018, the city hosted the Africa Nations Cup, attracting thousands of spectators and boosting the local economy.
If successful, the World Polo Championship Qualifiers could potentially attract a similar crowd, generating revenue for local businesses and raising the profile of Nigerian sports on a global stage.
