The delegation of thirty-five participants flew aboard flight WB 200 to Lagos. Among the thirty-five participants are twenty players, who will participate in fifteen doubles games throughout the duration of the tournament which officially concludes on June 9th, 2014. While in Nigeria, the team will participate in a few other programs besides the tournament. These will include a boat cruise around the Lagos Lagoon, a visit to The Nigerian Stock Exchange, and the attendance of a Business forum. These activities will be staggered between tournament times, as the games themselves are the primary purpose of travel.
