Favour Ofili qualifies for Women’s 200m final

Nigerian sprint sensation Favour Ofili has confirmed her switch of international allegiance to Turkey, ending months of speculation about her future.

The 22-year-old athlete made the announcement in a statement shared on her social media pages.

“Wrapping up my 2025 season has been a whirlwind of new experiences and big decisions. As some of you have heard, I’m also starting a new chapter representing Turkey,” She wrote.

Her decision is seen as a fallout of long-standing administrative lapses and alleged neglect by both the Nigerian Olympic Committee and the Athletics Federation of Nigeria.
