Director-general of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Honourable Bukola Olopade has given thumbs up to the country’s pre-competition training camp in Aberdeen, Scotland, as the athletes settle down there ahead of this year’s Commonwealth Games in nearby Glasgow.
Sports247 reports that Olopade was beaming with delight, as chef de mission and in an advance delegation to receive members of the Nigerian contingent on arrival at the training camp, where the athletes and coaches are scheduled to fine tune their strategies for three weeks.
Olopade took to social media to highlight the top-notch facilities, calm atmosphre and peaceful envirronment on offer at the training base, which he disclosed is loaded with state-of-the-art installations that will adequately aid Team Nigeria’s last phase of preparations for the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
“I took our officials on a tour of the facilities, as we continue our final preparations for the 2026 Commonwealth Games. Every detail has been put in place to ensure our athletes have the best environment, resources and support they need to compete at their very best.
“Our focus remains clear: provide the right conditions, inspire confidence and give Team Nigeria every opportunity to excel on the Commonwealth stage. The journey continues,” Olopade stated in a series of highly revealing and enthusiastic posts he rolled out on Saturday.
Sports247 reports further that the athletes had been boosted earlier before their departure from Nigeria when the NSC officially unveiled world renowned sportswear brand, Puma, as the country’s kit partner for the Games.
The presentation was part of the presidential sendforth ceremony, where 74 athletes across 10 sporting disciplines were charged to represent Nigeria with integrity and pride during the multi-sport competition scheduled for July 23rd to August 2nd.
