Olympic sprinter Favour Ofili has officially changed her sporting nationality from Nigeria to Turkey, marking a major shift in her athletic journey.
The 21-year-old, who holds Nigeria’s 200m national record at 21.96 seconds, announced the move at the end of her 2025 season.
Ofili has represented Nigeria on global stages including the Youth Olympics, World Championships, and the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Her decision follows growing concerns over athlete welfare and support in Nigerian sports.
In a heartfelt message, she described the switch as the beginning of a new chapter.
The move is seen as a significant loss for Nigerian athletics, as Ofili was one of its most consistent and promising talents.
