Twelve-year-old Nigerian actor Chibuchi Francis has won a bronze medal in the Acting category for ages 11–12 at the 2026 World Championships of Performing Arts (WCOPA) held in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.
The prestigious competition, which took place from July 13 to July 21 at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, brought together performers from more than 80 countries competing in acting, singing, dancing, modelling, instrumental performance and other creative disciplines.
Often referred to as the "Entertainment Olympics," the annual event provides a global platform for emerging talents while promoting cultural exchange and artistic excellence.
Chibuchi represented Team Nigeria under the leadership of the National Director of WCOPA Team Nigeria and Founder of Street2Fame Nigeria Performing Arts Entertainment, Ambassador Lovethpatra White Ekufu.
According to the organisation, the young actor's participation at the international competition was fully sponsored by Street2Fame Nigeria Performing Arts Entertainment as part of its initiative to nurture and expose talented Nigerian youths to global opportunities.
Reacting to the achievement, Ekufu described Chibuchi's bronze medal as proof that Nigerian children can compete and excel on the world stage when given the right support.
"The bronze medal won by Chibuchi David Francis proves that Nigerian youths possess world-class talent. When young people are given the opportunity to dream, prepare and compete, they can excel on the global stage," she said.
