The Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) has reopened its camp for preparations ahead of the Confederation of African Athletics (CAA) U-18 and U-20 Championships, following the conclusion of a two-day selection trial, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The championships are scheduled to take place in Abeokuta, Ogun State, from July 16 to 20.

After the national trials, which ended on Tuesday at the Gateway Stadium, the selected athletes returned to camp in Sagamu, Ogun State, to continue preparations.

The AFN had initially invited 90 junior athletes to camp last month ahead of the trials.

The federation is expected to release the final list of athletes for the championships in the coming days, following the example of other participating countries.
