Never before has the National Sports Festival featured 38 teams. This makes the 2024 edition, taking place in 2025, the biggest ever as the Gateway games begin this Sunday.
The 36 states are joined by the Federal Capital Territory and another assembly of Invited Junior Athletes (IJA) who make up the 38th competing team.
The past two days have witnessed the arrival of teams. This Sunday evening, the skies of Abeokuta will be ignited as fireworks and the lighting of the games’ cauldron are expected to be the high points of the potentially best opening ceremony in history.
