Dakar 2026: Netherlands End Nigeria’s Beach Volleyball Campaign in Quarter-Finals

Nigeria’s quest to win a medal at the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games came to an end on Tuesday as Pamela Miyoum Bawa and Joy Lawrence lost to The Netherlands in the quarterfinals. The Dutch duo won 2-0 (22-14, 21-16).

The Nigerian team struggled in the first set. However, they put up a better fight in the second set but ultimately couldn’t match their opponents.

This brings Team Nigeria’s quest to reach the semifinals to an end.

However, the Nigerian team did very well to make it to the quarterfinals after defeating Thailand 2-0 (21-16, 21-13) in the Round of 16. Their involvement in the tournament gives them great experience playing on the world stage.

The Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games will be held between 31 October and 13 November where some of the world’s rising stars will compete. Nigeria are competing in six sports in the games.
