African Championships: Taekwondo Coach decries paucity of funds

Ibrahim Yahuza, assistant coach of Nigeria’s Taekwondo national team, has lamented the national team’s financial difficulties as it prepares for the African Taekwondo Championships in Cote d’Ivoire in August.

Yahuza told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday that the team is yet to resume camping as there are no funds to host athletes in camp.

“This is a major concern because we have a roadmap to the Paris 2024 Olympics and African Games in Ghana, and we cannot assess these players or prepare them for these competitions without training.
