2024 NYG: Edo urges team to be good ambassadors

Posted : 09 September 2024

As Team Edo departs Benin for Asaba, Delta State for the 8th National Youth Games 'Asaba 2024', the Executive Chairman of the Edo State Sports Commission, Olympian Yussuf Alli, has urged Edo athletes to remain disciplined and be good ambassadors as they represent the state.


The Edo State Sports Commission head gave this advice while addressing the state contingent at Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium shortly before their departure.

 


He encouraged the athletes to always remember that they are representing Edo State in Asaba and to maintain a clean image throughout the competition.


He added that the competition should not be seen as a must-win.


"Last year we did very well, and I am confident that this year we will do even better. I trust you. We are going there to compete—do your best.


"We, as Edo, will not cheat; we will perform well. If we win, fine. If we don't win, it's no problem.


"As they always tell me, if you can't be first, you can be second; if you can't be second, you can be third, and so on. But do your best. You will have no regrets.


"If you are wearing the Edo colors, you know what it means: winning. So be good ambassadors and exhibit good behavior.


"Don't fight with anyone. If you have any problems, tell your coach, and from there, we can intervene. Please.


"I wish you the best of luck. We are all coming with you, and we will be there with you throughout," Alli said.


The Edo contingent for the Asaba Youth Games comprises 243 athletes, 70 coaches, and 28 sports officers. Team Edo will be competing in 31 games in Asaba.
