World Athletics Rejects Ofili’s Bid To Switch Allegiance From Nigeria To Turkey
Nigerian sprinter Favour Ofili’s application to switch her national allegiance from Nigeria to Türkiye has been rejected by World Athletics.
The global governing body cited “integrity concerns” as the primary reason for its decision, emphasising that such a move could “weaken trust in national representation and athlete development systems.”
Ofili, who had previously voiced concerns regarding the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN), will remain bound to represent Nigeria in international competitions.
This decision stands unless an appeal is successfully lodged.
The ruling by World Athletics underscores a commitment to maintaining the integrity of national teams and the established pathways for athlete development within member federations.
