The management of AFA Sports is celebrating the Nigerian spirit as displayed by the athletes at the on-going Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

“To those who have finished their term at this stage, we say congratulations and for those looking forward to Paris 2024, we stand by you all the way.”
The AFA CEO is also highly delighted that the continent of Africa was able to able to take a huge position at the Olympics with AFA Sports being the first wholly African manufacturer to kit a national delegation at the Games.
Udezue said his company remains grateful to the Minister of Sports, Sunday Dare, the Federal Government of Nigeria, the NOC and the athletes for daring to support the growth of the indigenous firms.
