Nigeria's victorious U-18 and U-20 Handball teams receives heroics welcome

Posted : 14 April 2026

The Director General D-G of the National Sports Commission, Bukola Olopade, says Nigeria's dominant triumph at the IHF trophy zone 3 in Lome, Togo, has brought renewed confidence in the country's male athletes.

The Director General stated this when he received the victorious U-18 and U-20 teams in his office in Abuja.

"Your performance in Togo has shown that Handball is a progressive sport that deserves all the support from both the private sector and the sports commission".

"At a time when our women athletes have dominated international success for the country, it is quite refreshing to see our male teams achieving this sort of international success as well".

"I took my time to watch some good handball matches at the last sports festival in Ogun state and I strongly believe with an extra push we have what it takes to break the dominance of the North Africans".

"I want to thank the leadership of the handball federation of Nigeria led by the Hardworking President, Jibril Saidu, who has continued to show impressive passion to grow the sports".

The D-G further assured the Handball Federation that the Commission will make sure they are adequately supported for the continental championship coming up later in the year.

President of the Nigeria Handball federation, Jibril Saidu in his remarks, thanked the leadership of the NSC for giving Handball a serious sense of belonging and reassured that the federation is going to the continental tournament with the aim to win it.

The reception of the youth teams marks a significant turning point for male handball development within the country. With the National Sports Commission pledging full support for the upcoming continental championship, the teams are now better positioned to challenge for top honors. This renewed partnership between the NSC and the federation promises a bright future for Nigerian handball on the global stage.
