The Youth Sports Federation of Nigeria (YSFON) Anambra State has gone into partnership with Nigeria's Sprint legend, former African Sprint Champion and Olympic Medalist, Innocent Ejima Egbunike as its Ambassador. This partnership was effected recently after series of meetings, consultations and discussions about the short term, medium and long terms plans/visions of YSFON, Anambra State. The partnership is aimed at using the global influence of Innocent Egbunike to discover more athletes that will do the state and the nation proud. The heart warming partnership will also birth a talent breeding INNOCENT EGBUNIKE YSFON ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIP which will soon start. According to Innocent Egbunike, "after going through the vision of YSFON Anambra State as presented by its Chairman and my friend, Engr Akonam Obiefuna, I am so impressed and feel I can work with them to help discover and develop talents in athletics in Anambra state and Nigeria."

A committee for the championship will be set up soon. The event will feature 100m, 200m, 400m and 4x100m for both Male and Female.
