Three-time Olympic medallist Mary Onyali-Omagbemi, alongside former Super Eagles stars Felix Owolabi and Tajudeen Disu, will headline the list of mentors at the inaugural sports camp organised by the Wamufat Youth Community Development Foundation, in collaboration with the Nigeria School Sport Federation, which begins on Monday, August 11, 2025.

Onyali, a five-time Olympian (1988–2004), will be joined by Owolabi and Disu to guide over 400 students from the six South-West states during the seven-day camp.

The programme, which blends sports training with education, mentorship, and personal development, will be held at the Agroterra Sports Complex in Joga-Orile, near Abeokuta, Ogun State.

In addition to the student athletes, more than 150 game masters from Ogun, Lagos, Oyo, Ekiti, Osun, and Ondo States will also take part.

Owolabi, a retired Nigerian international who played as a left winger, represented Nigeria at the 1978 African Cup of Nations and the 1980 Summer Olympics.

Disu is another former national team player who made his mark with the now-defunct Abiola Babes and benefited from educational scholarships abroad during his playing career.

The ex-internationals are expected to share their experiences and impart valuable knowledge to the young athletes during the camp.

NSSF President Olabisi Joseph commended WYCDF for initiating the programme and pledged the federation’s full support to ensure its success.

“We cannot but be grateful to WYCDF for this laudable initiative, as it promotes grassroots sports development and supports our strategic agenda, IMPACTS,” Joseph said.

“Our agenda focuses on clinics and camps that teach foundational techniques in sports such as athletics, basketball, football, golf, table tennis, tennis, and ayo.”

According to WYCDF, the initiative is designed to empower young people through structured sports activities, values-based coaching, and wellness education.

Participants will engage in daily athletics training, motivational sessions, sports drills, mentoring, and leadership development workshops.

The camp will also include sessions on modern sports techniques, anti-doping awareness, health education, safeguarding, and other relevant topics – all aimed at equipping participants with the tools to thrive both on and off the field.
