Lagos is set to host about 15,000 young athletes aged between 15 and 18 for the maiden National Intermediate Games scheduled to hold from October 1 to 15, 2026.
The athletes are expected to compete in 23 compulsory and five optional sporting disciplines across 10 venues in the state.
In a post obtained from the state’s X handle on Thursday, the Chairman of the Local Organising Committee, Sam Egube, disclosed this during a media parley in Lagos, describing the games as a major platform for youth development, talent discovery and national unity.
Egube said the competition would provide opportunities to identify and nurture young athletes with the potential to advance to the National Sports Festival, continental competitions and eventually the global sporting stage.
