The Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) announces that national trials will determine Nigeria’s track and field representatives for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland. Multiple outlets report that the trials are scheduled for 20 to 22 June. Premium Times adds that the federation makes these trials compulsory for Commonwealth Games hopefuls, outlining the requirement for athletes seeking selection. Vanguard similarly confirms the June 20–22 dates for the trials, describing them as the process used to select Nigeria’s track and field team for Glasgow. Premium Times specifies the venue as Yaba College of Technology, while Vanguard focuses on the timetable and selection purpose. Both reports characterize the event as the national selection mechanism for the Commonwealth Games, meaning athletes must participate in the trials to be considered for the team. The AFN’s decision establishes both the timing and the eligibility expectations for athletes aiming for the 2026 Games, with the trials acting as the final gateway to official representation.
