Morocco took a 2-0 lead on Saturday, with Karim Bennani defeating Canice Abua 6-1, 6-2 and Yassine Dlimi recording an identical win over Yusuf Abubakar, before sealing the tie on Sunday to book a place in the 2027 World Group I Playoffs. Ochei described Nigeria's campaign as a significant milestone, citing the country's promotion to World Group II earlier in the year and a 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan in February in Lagos.
