The Nigeria School Sports Federation will hold a two-day trial at Yaba College of Technology in Lagos to pick Nigeria’s team for the 2022 World School Athletics Championships, which will be held later this year in Turkey.
The trial will take place on February 16 and 17.
According to the NSSF, pupils born in 2004, 2005, and 2006 will compete for spots in the contingent.
Some states have organised trials to pick their teams for the trials, and the states’ contingents are expected in Lagos to compete in 14 events ranging from 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 3000m, long and high jumps, shot put and discus, among others.
NSSF president Olabisi Joseph said the trial was aimed at selecting the best legs among students for the country.
“Nigeria, having missed participating in the International School Sport Federation organised competition for some years, is back to make a positive statement with our performances, while also giving our school boys and girls the opportunity to compete with their counterparts on the world stage,” she said.
“With Nigeria being an active member of the world body, the country has been invited to present a team for the championships, and it behooves us to give all the students an equal opportunity to make the team,” the NSSF boss added.
