The declared aim of Team Nigeria for 2012 is to take athletes who will not just compete in the Games, but have an outstanding chance of either medalling or being the best African representatives.
Team Nigeria is selected from a group of Olympic hopefuls across basketball, wrestling, athletics, taekwondo, weightlifting, and table tennis, who are all training and competing for the chance to represent their country at London 2012.
At the London 2012 Olympic Games Team Nigeria will be the largest single team to represent the nation at a summer Olympics, and we’ll be better prepared, equipped and supported than any of our predecessors in over 50 years.
Team Nigeria will compete in more sports and more disciplines and our mission is to deliver best performance, more medals, from more sports. The athletes who compete for Team Nigeria are ordinary men and women with extraordinary talents.
