2024 NSF: Team Ogun in gold chase after women's handball S/final

Posted : 27 May 2025

Team Ogun on Monday defeated Team Kogi 24-19 to qualify for the final of the women’s handball tournament at the ongoing National Sports Festival tagged “Gateway Games 2024.”


The match, which took place at the Alake Sports Centre in Abeokuta, ended 10-10 in the first half.


Speaking after the match, Head Coach of the Ogun Handball Team, Sekoni Oloruntola, expressed satisfaction with his players’ style of play.


“I feel great; we’re progressing gradually. The players gave me 75 percent today, and I’m sure the remaining percentage will be added in the final.


“The players were motivated by the gesture of Gov. Dapo Abiodun. He paid all the arrears and has also made promises, which they are looking forward to.


“Before getting to this stage, we played Kogi, Plateau, and Delta before meeting Kogi again in the semifinal.


“I expect gold in the final,” he said.


One of the Team Ogun players, Abdulrasaq Idowu, expressed confidence that the state would be victorious in the final.


Idowu, however, noted that handball could become more popular in the country if the government organized more competitions.


“If the government at all levels can organize more competitions, the game will become more popular.


“Local government competitions, school competitions, interstate competitions, and more national and international competitions will go a long way in encouraging youths to fall in love with handball,” she said.
