The City of Benin, in Edo state, Nigeria will be grounds for Nigerian athletes seeking to participate at this year’s World Athletics Championship in Budapest, Hungary, to fight for their tickets. It is the second Golden League event organised by the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) this year to prepare the country’s hopefuls. The first Golden League held at MKO Abiola Stadium, Abuja, on May 26, produced a spectacular race with Samuel Ogazi emerging the star athlete in the 400m final, in a time of 45.91 seconds. Since then, a total of 14 athletes have been in the national team camp in Asaba with four coaches putting finishing touches to their baton exchange in readiness for the relay events. The AFN Golden League in Benin City, which will hold from 14-15th June, 2023, will among other things, give the athletes the chance to try their luck in the relay qualification battle in the 4x100m (male and female), 4x400m (male and female) and the mixed 4×400 relay.
