Team Ondo volleyball coach Adesoji Balogun has
called for more support for the sport across the country.
Speaking after his team dispatched a hard-fighting
Imo team 3-1 at the ongoing Sports Festival, Coach Balogun noted sadly that the
sport has not been receiving as much attention as it should in other states of
the Federation.
“As you can see from the game we just played
against Imo, many of these states still have a lot to learn about the game and
to invest too,” he said.
But he was full of praises for the government of
Ondo State which he claimed has been so supportive of the sport in the state.
This, he noted was responsible for the team’s good results at the last Sports
Festival in Rivers where the state won the volleyball gold medal.
“I must express my happiness with the support the
sport has been receiving from the Ondo State Government. This is responsible for
our results as everyone can see.”
The state was ranked eighth on the medals table at
the beginning of sporting activities on Tuesday with 15 medals that comprised 4
gold, 4 silver and 7 bronze.
