Lagos is preparing for a major celebration of women’s tennis as more than 120 players gear up for the 2026 Amazons Tennis Tournament, a competition that continues to grow in profile and significance within Nigeria’s recreational tennis scene.

In just 10 days after the registration window opened, over 120 women had signed up, underlining the event’s rising popularity and growing influence among female tennis players.
What began as a platform to promote women’s participation in tennis is fast becoming one of the standout sporting gatherings on the calendar. This year’s edition is expected to bring together representatives from more than 25 recreational tennis clubs across Lagos, setting the stage for a vibrant mix of competition, club rivalry, and community spirit.
The timing of the tournament adds even more meaning to the occasion. Coming during International Women’s Month, the 2026 edition will be held under the theme “GiveToGain,” a message the organisers say reflects empowerment, shared growth, unity, and the importance of supporting one another through sport.
More than just a contest for medals and prize money, the Amazons Tennis Tournament is increasingly being seen as a movement that celebrates women’s strength, resilience, and visibility in sport. The event offers players not only the chance to compete, but also an opportunity to be part of a larger statement about inclusion and the continued rise of women’s tennis.
With enthusiasm already building across clubs and among supporters, expectations are high for an event that promises energy, quality, and memorable moments on court. Organisers believe the 2026 edition will raise the standard even further and reinforce the tournament’s reputation as one of the biggest women’s recreational tennis events in Nigeria, and potentially across Africa.
As the countdown begins, all eyes are now on Lagos for what promises to be a colorful and inspiring showcase of women’s tennis at its very best.
