AFN Reads Riot Acts to Athletes Over Commonwealth Games Trials

The Athletics Federation of Nigeria has mandated that athletes must attend the upcoming National Trials in Lagos if they want to qualify for the Commonwealth Games, setting a sprint benchmark for participation. This decision comes amid concerns over athlete preparation and selection for international competitions. By enforcing mandatory trials, the AFN aims to ensure that only the best and most competitive athletes represent Nigeria at the Commonwealth Games, which could significantly impact the country's performance in future athletic events.
