Reacting to the announcement, Director General of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Hon. Bukola Olopade expressed his excitement and pride in Nigeria’s achievement.

“This is a huge win for Nigeria and for the future of sports development on the continent. Our successful bid is a testament to the unhinged commitment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to sports excellence.”

He stressed that Nigeria will deliver an unforgettable experience for young athletes from across the continent during the tournament in 2027.

According to a statement signed by Director of Press, National Sports Commission (NSC), Mrs. Kehinde Ajayi,
Nigeria’s successful bid was largely influenced by its recent track record of hosting top-tier competitions.

Nigeria recently hosted the National Sports Festival and the 3rd CAA Africa U18/U20 Athletics Championships, among other events which were widely acclaimed for their exceptional organisation, athlete experience, and facilities.
