Sports Affairs

UNILORIN’s Sports Unit oversees all athletic activities and facilities, promoting physical wellness and talent development. With qualified coaches, the University supports students and staff in achieving their athletic potential through training and competitions.

The University’s teams, such as the Unilorin Warriors football team, have achieved notable success, including winning gold and silver at the Emir’s Cup and Varsity Cup, also bagged 6 outstanding medals at the FASU competition. Additionally, UNILORIN has hosted the National Youth Games multiple times, reflecting its significant role in national sports development.

The Students’ Union plays a vital role in sports, with dedicated positions like the Sports Secretary coordinating major events for all faculties (events like Fresher’s cup, Unilorin league, Unilorin d’or, SU Olympics and VC’s Cup) and representing student interests in all athletic matters in and outside the university.  This community with all these stated advantages is set to thrive greatly and build promising talents… it’s why we are called the better by far university.
