2022 IHF Trophy: Nigeria Set To Dominate Africa In Ivory Coast

The National Under 18 and 20 handball male teams are presently undergoing camping preparation in Lagos ahead of the IHF Trophy 2022 for Africa Zone 3 which will hold in Ivory Coast.

The two national teams coached by Coach Emeka Nnamani for the under 18 boys team and Coach Fidelis Obi, the gaffer for the under 20 boys teams are undergoing intensive training programme at the Rowe Park Sports Center in Yaba, Lagos.

Several of the players invited for national team duties were involved at the recently concluded Prudent Energy Handball Premier League 2022 and the coaches feel their fitness level ahead of the championship is in top shape.

Coach Fidelis and Coach Emeka both echoed the fact the Handball Federation of Nigeria (HFN) have been supportive and they have been having the best of camping experience for the teams respectively.

Nigeria will be participating in the IHF Trophy 2022 for Africa Zone 3 from the November 21 to the 27, 2022 which is the last for the Africa Zone.

Previous championships for the IHF Trophy 2022 for the Africa Zone were held in Harare, Zimbabwe, Moroni in Comoros, Nairobi in Kenya and very recently Conakry in Guinea.
