After Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) in 2019 and Ndola (Zambia) in 2023, it is now Abeokuta (Nigeria)'s turn to host the third edition of the Confederation of African Athletics' combined U18/U20 Championships. The capital of Ogun State in southwestern Nigeria will host the continent's rising stars of athletics from July 16 to 20, 2025.
Alongside the track event, the CAA will hold its Council on July 13 and its Congress on July 14 and 15.
Abeokuta is expected to provide an opportunity to discover new talent and prepare them for the upcoming Olympic Games and World Championships.
The African Athletics Confederation has no concerns about the success of the organization's bet to offer the best conditions of stay for athletes, officials, journalists and special guests of World Athletics.
