across Nigeria to represent the nation at the prestigious World
University Games. Following the rigorous and successful trials held in
Edo State, a total of 75 exceptional student-athletes from 22

university students, witnessed intense competition and outstanding
performances. The selected athletes have demonstrated their exceptional
skills, dedication, and commitment to their respective sports, earning
their well-deserved places in the Nigerian contingent for the World

This significant achievement is a testament to the collective efforts
and collaborative spirit of the Nigerian university community in
nurturing and promoting sporting excellence. The universities within
Nigeria have played a pivotal role in identifying, training, and
developing these talented athletes, enabling them to reach their full
potential.

NUGA, in partnership with the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the
Ministry of Education, is working tirelessly to ensure the necessary
financial support to facilitate the participation of these athletes at
the World University Games. The commitment to cover the expenses for
both the athletes based in Nigeria and those in the diaspora highlights
the dedication and determination of NUGA in promoting sports on the
international stage.

The World University Games, renowned as a premier global sporting event
for university athletes, provides an incredible platform for our
talented Nigerian athletes to showcase their skills, compete with the
best, and bring glory to our nation. NUGA is confident that our
representatives will exhibit exceptional sportsmanship, resilience, and
determination, reflecting the values of our great nation.

NUGA earnestly appeals to both private and public organizations to
extend their generous support and assistance to Team Nigeria for their
participation in the upcoming World University Games. The success of our
athletes depends greatly on the collective efforts and contributions of
various sectors of society.
Furthermore,

The Nigerian contingent, consisting of these exceptional athletes and
those in the diaspora, will carry the hopes and aspirations of the
nation as they compete in the World University Games. Their journey is a
testament to the strength, talent, and determination of Nigerian youth
in the field of sports
