The Atlantic Conference teams, including Delta, Oyo, Imo, Lagos and Ogun states, are all set to battle it out for the coveted championship title.
With months of preparations and rigorous training, the athletes are ready to showcase their skills, determination and sportsmanship in what promises to be an exciting and competitive event.
