For the first time in the history of the ITTF World Cup, Africa will be having two representatives in the men’s event of the tournament holding October in Liege, Belgium.

Already, Nigeria’s Aruna Quadri qualified in July as the winner of the ITTF Africa Cup and Egypt’s Omar Assar was confirmed as the second continental flagbearer based on his world ranking.
