Scheduled to take place from May 16th to 31st, this year’s edition is more than a sporting competition—it is a national celebration of unity, culture, and development.

The festival will feature 33 sports, drawing participation from all 36 states of the federation, the FCT, and invited junior athletes, with over 10,000 athletes expected to compete.

It promises to be one of the largest gatherings of sports talent in the history of the event.

Ogun State, deeply rooted in heritage and tradition, is set to offer a powerful display of Nigerian culture. From vibrant performances during the opening and closing ceremonies to daily exhibitions of art, dance, and indigenous craftsmanship, the festival will celebrate the diversity that defines the nation.

Visitors and participants alike will have the opportunity to engage with local customs and cultural expressions from all regions of Nigeria.

The festival is already stimulating economic activity across the state. Thousands of athletes, officials, and spectators will inject new energy into Ogun’s economy, benefiting local businesses, hospitality providers, transportation services, and informal traders.

From hotels to markets, the influx of guests is expected to significantly boost revenue and promote tourism in the host communities.

Spectators can look forward to a thoughtfully curated experience. Fan engagement zones, live entertainment, digital information displays, and enhanced security measures will ensure a safe, interactive, and memorable environment for everyone attending.

Family-friendly spaces and local culinary showcases will further enrich the experience for both local residents and Ogun State has made strategic investments in infrastructure, with significant upgrades to key venues including the M.K.O. Abiola International Stadium and the Alake Sports Centre.

 

For the first time in the history of the National Sports Festival, all contingents will be accommodated in a dedicated Games Village, fostering greater collaboration, unity, and logistical efficiency. These developments are set to leave a lasting legacy for future sporting events and community use.

 

Adding to the momentum is the recent appointment of 1980 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) winner, Chief Segun Odegbami, as the Grand Sports Ambassador of Ogun State. A legendary figure in Nigerian sports, Chief Odegbami’s legacy, leadership, and advocacy for youth development reflect the values the festival aims to promote.

 

With only six days to go, the 22nd National Sports Festival promises to be a landmark event for Nigerian sports, culture, and national development.
