The world series will hold from March 18th to 20th at the Departmental De Formation et d’ Animation Sportives in France
Making the list of the four selected players is another Obi Ijeoma Juliana from Plateau State who is also a force to reckon with amongst the ‘curve game’ players in Nigeria.
Nigeria will take part in three categories: Men’s, Women’s and Mixed Doubles and the nation will be represented by two males and females at the global competition.
