Already, some U.S.-based athletes, including Justine Jimoh, a junior star, who is coming to Benin City to battle for a ticket to the World U-20 Championships, will arrive in the country today. “Apart from the athletes, many coaches here in the United States are eagerly waiting to be part of the event. And from the feelers I am getting from home, the AFN is putting things in place to ensure a smooth event,” he stated.
