ABOUT THE CHAMPIONSHIP
The Tojemarine Invitational Handball Championship represents more than a sporting competition — it is a legacy of passion, service, excellence, and an enduring commitment to the growth of handball in Nigeria and across West Africa.
The championship traces its roots to 2012 with the establishment of the Sam Ocheho Invitational Championship, an initiative founded on the belief that sports remain one of the most powerful tools for youth development, social impact, regional unity, and national pride.
