Posted : 25 March 2026

The Bayelsa State Commissioner for Sports Development, Daniel Igali, has expressed the State’s readiness to host one of the best ever organised wrestling championships in recent time while reposing confidence in the technical ability of referees/officials playing a positive role.

Igali gave the assertion during a technical meeting ahead of the kick-off of the 4th Governor Douye Diri National Wrestling Classics in Yenagoa slated for 25th March to 1st April, 2026.

Igali opined that the technical session was aimed to abreast and enhance thorough understanding of the latest rules of the sport as representatives of various states, military and paramilitary institutions and wrestling clubs gathered to learn some of the latest updates about the sport.

"In a national tournament of this nature, you have the technical session a day before to acquaint coaches and even athletes on how you will officiate. The updated rules and how coaches and athletes are expected to behave."

"So, the technical session is a critical component of a competition of this magnitude and I'm quite impressed with the delivery of the referees and not forgetting we have about 30 referees for this tournament which is more than enough to execute a lasting legacy of this 2026 championship."

"We are very ready. I think this is about the most ready we can be and I'm looking forward to a very exciting and wrestling magic in this one week," Igali said.

The championship serves as a vital platform for discovering homegrown talent and elevating the standard of wrestling across the federation. With a record number of officials and participants present, Bayelsa State continues to cement its reputation as the hub of wrestling in Nigeria. The event is expected to deliver high-level competition as athletes vie for top honors over the coming days.
