The Board Member of the Nigeria Cycling Federation Femi Thomas has insisted that their main objective this year is to secure a spot in the Paris 2024 Olympic and World Cycling Championship, BSNSports.com.ng has gathered.

He made his opinion known while speaking to the Guardian ahead of the team's departure for Cairo, Egypt venue of the championship.

“The Nigeria cycling team, after spending over two weeks in the country training for the African championship, was directed by NCF to undergo another training in Cairo, the venue of the championship.

"We are optimistic the team will do well in Cairo, going by the level of preparations the Team had in Nigeria ahead of the event. 

The cyclists left for Cairo on Monday so as to acclimatise and get further training to put them in good shape.

The federation is trying its best to ensure the team gets enough points to qualify for both the Olympics and world championships next year", he said.
