Athletics Federation of Nigeria Mobilizes Athletes Ahead of Deadline to Secure Relay Event Spots

Nigeria is set to make a decisive effort to secure qualification for the 2026 World Athletics Relays, with a group of its top athletes traveling to the United States just days before the registration deadline. The move comes as the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) intensifies preparations to ensure the country is represented across multiple relay events.

According to AFN officials, the team will participate in high-profile competitions in the U.S. to achieve the qualifying times necessary for the 4x100m, 4x200m, 4x400m, and mixed relay events. This final push underscores Nigeria’s commitment to maintaining its presence on the global athletics stage and supporting the development of its elite sprinters.

Coaches and technical staff will work closely with the athletes during this preparatory period, focusing on relay exchanges, speed endurance, and tactical execution.

With only days remaining before the qualification deadline, AFN is confident that the team’s participation in U.S. competitions will secure Nigeria’s spots, allowing the country to compete with full representation in all relay categories at the 2026 World Athletics Relays.
