The stage is set for the 3rd African U18 and U20 Athletics Championships scheduled to hold at the newly upgraded MKO Abiola Sports Complex.
The championship promises to be a spectacle of speed, strength, and emerging talent among the youths of the continent.
Over 50 countries are expected to participate in the event, with national contingents beginning to arrive from July 12. The championship will take place from July 16-20, 2025.
The Confederation of African Athletics (CAA) has given full endorsement to the facilities, certifying Abeokuta as ready and capable of hosting the continent’s best young athletes.
All eyes will be on Nigeria as it sets the stage for a new generation of stars, poised to follow in the footsteps of national legends like Falilat Ogunkoya, Mary Onyali, Olusoji Fasuba, Deji Aliyu, and Yusuf Alli — all of whom first shone on similar junior stages before becoming global icons.
As excitement builds, Ogun State is not only preparing for the athletics championship but is also setting the groundwork to host the upcoming WAFU B U-17 football championship, further cementing its growing status as a hub for elite sporting events in Africa.
