U-19 Athletes receive heroic welcome in Lagos

Posted : 08 May 2023
Members of the victorious Team Nigeria contingent returned to the country on Sunday via Lagos International Airport.

Africa Sport Network (ASN) reports that the cadet athletics team, who wrote their name in gold at the Confederation of African Athletics (CAA) Under 18 and 20 Championships in Ndola, Zambia, is back on the shores of Nigeria.

The Minister of Youths and Sports Development and some top officials of his ministry and the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) were on hand to receive the youngsters at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport in Lagos.

It was a moment of joy, ecstasy, and jubilation as the nation's junior athletics team touched down in Lagos. The Supporters Club was also on hand and on time to dish out thrilling tunes as the contingent, led by their respective captains, alighted from their aircraft to the warm embrace of Dare and other officials.

Team Nigeria finished in second place, behind South Africa, at the 2023 African Under-18 and 20 Athletics Championships, winning 17 gold, 10 silver, and 9 bronze medals in Ndola.

The AAC (Juniors), which was held in Zambia, had 39 African nations participate. It combined both the Under-18 and Under-20 Championships. The first batch of Nigerian contingents to the championship arrived in the afternoon.
