Team Nigeria has maintained its place among the leading nations at the 2026 Commonwealth Games, ending Day Four in fourth position on the medals table and ahead of every other African country and hosts Scotland.
After four days of competition in Glasgow, Nigeria has won 10 medals—six gold and four silver—to trail only Australia, England and Canada.
Australia leads the standings with 59 medals (26 gold, 13 silver, and 20 bronze), while England sits second with 32 medals, and Canada is third with 21 medals. Scotland, despite competing on home soil, is fifth with five gold, four silver and two bronze medals.
Nigeria’s six gold medals have come from para powerlifting and weightlifting, two sports in which the country has continued to dominate.
The medal charge began with para powerlifting stars Esther Nworgu, Folashade Oluwafemiayo and Riluwan Idris, who all struck gold, while Roland Ezuruike, Esther Oyema and Rita Ferdinand added silver medals.
