The Karate Federation of Nigeria has confirmed that the 3rd edition of the Japanese Ambassador Karate Championship will take place in Abuja from July 24 to July 27, 2024.
Dave Jegede, the Technical Director of the Karate Federation of Nigeria, stated that the federation is doing everything possible to organize another successful edition of the championships. He made this announcement in Abuja.
According to Jegede, preparations are in full swing for the 2024 edition of the Japanese Ambassador Karate Championship, which is scheduled to take place at the Indoor Sports Hall of the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja.
“This is the Japanese Ambassador Karate Championship, and this is the third edition. We have the Africa tournament in Tunisia in September, and we want to use this tournament to test our team so they can be in peak form.”
“I can assure you that we are ready. We have secured accommodation for our participating athletes and officials. About 16 states have registered, including the Nigeria Police, Nigeria Army, Immigration, and Air Force. We are getting ready.”
Jegede further assured that the federation will continue to provide the necessary platforms for its athletes to showcase their talents.
“This is the second national tournament of the year. One of our policies is to promote high competitiveness, and I believe we are achieving that.”
“After this, we have the Africa Championship in Tunisia, the Commonwealth Championship in Bangladesh, and the fifth Nasarawa National Open in October. We also have the only female championship in Nigeria and West Africa later in the year, and we hope to conclude with a full council meeting. I can tell you that better days are ahead for our athletes.”
About 30 states across the federation and participants from the Nigeria Police, Nigeria Army, Immigration Service, Air Force, and others are expected to take part in the 3-day Japanese Ambassador Karate Championship.
