Nigeria's women's tennis team has made history by securing promotion to the Billie Jean King Cup Europe/Africa Group II for the first time after defeating hosts Botswana 2-1 in the promotion playoff, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The landmark victory represents a significant breakthrough for Nigerian tennis, as the country takes another major step forward in the prestigious women's international team competition.

The achievement comes on the heels of Nigeria's promotion to the Davis Cup World Group II in 2026, highlighting the impressive progress of the nation's tennis programme on both the men's and women's fronts.

With both national teams now competing at higher levels internationally, Nigerian tennis continues to gain momentum, raising hopes for even greater success on the global stage in the years ahead.
