Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, has pledged the federal government’s support for the Nigerian Kabaddi team ahead of the upcoming Commonwealth Championship. Speaking during a pre-departure meeting with the team, Dare emphasized the need for the team to put in their best and make Nigeria proud at the international event. ‘I want to assure you that the federal government is fully behind you,’ Dare said. ‘We are committed to providing you with the necessary support to ensure that you perform at your best.’ According to The Guardian Nigeria News, the championship will take place in Birmingham, United Kingdom from October 30 to November 7, 2026. This pledge of support comes after the Nigerian Kabaddi team won the bronze medal at the last African Games in Rabat, Morocco in August 2022. The team is hoping to build on that success and win a higher position at the Commonwealth Championship.
