Nigeria’s U-18 women’s handball team has been awarded a 10-0 victory and three points after Madagascar failed to show up for their scheduled match at the ongoing Africa Women’s Youth Handball Championship.
The encounter, billed for Sunday, did not hold as Madagascar was absent, leading tournament officials to declare the match forfeited in favor of Coach John Uzor’s side.
With the walkover win, Nigeria strengthens its position in the competition and will now shift focus to their next fixture against the Benin Republic.
