Nigeria will host the International Cricket Council Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Sub-Regional C Qualifiers for the second consecutive time, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The ICC confirmed the qualification schedule for the African region on Wednesday, with the tournament set to take place in Nigeria from October 18 to 25, 2026.

Nigeria previously hosted the Sub-Regional C Qualifiers in 2024 and emerged champions in Abuja with a game to spare.

 However, the Yellow Greens narrowly missed out on qualification for the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup after falling short in the regional final stage.

For this year’s tournament, the Yellow Greens will compete alongside Gambia, Lesotho, Mozambique, Uganda, and Zambia.

The six participating nations will battle for the top two positions, with the successful teams advancing to the regional final scheduled for next year.
