World Athletics halts Ofili’s ‘mercenary’ move to Turkey
The Athletics Federation of Nigeria has officially moved to reintegrate sprint sensation Favour Ofili into the national fold following a landmark ruling by World Athletics that blocked her high-profile attempt to switch allegiance to Türkiye.
The decision from the World Athletics Nationality Review Panel effectively ends a period of uncertainty for the 100m and 200m specialist, who had been part of a government-backed recruitment drive by the Turkish Athletics Federation. While the federation has responded with a call for reconciliation, veteran stakeholders have hailed the ruling as a vital victory for the integrity of global track and field.
