Sports247 gathered that the competition is a high-profile event put together by International Handball Federation (IHF), ahead of which the two Nigerian teams have been in camp to fine-tune strategies to beat their West African opponents.
A media statement by Nigerian Handball Federation (NHF) disclosed in part, “The IHF Trophy remains a vital development platform, offering emerging talents the opportunity to gain international exposure.
“Notably, winners at the continental level will receive financial support to compete at the intercontinental phase, with eventual champions qualifying for the World Championship in their respective categories.
“With preparations already well underway in camp, expectations are high that Nigeria’s youth teams will put up strong performances in Lomé as they seek to secure qualification to the next stage of the global competition.”
Sports247 gathered further that, while the Nigerian delegation will land in Lomé on Monday, they are expected to leave on the official departure date of Sunday, April 12th, which is a day after the final is scheduled to hold.
