The event also comes as good news to athletes as it has been registered as a World Athletics ranking competition and will also feature on the international association's global calendar.

It was noted that for the Under-18 category, all athletes who were born in 2006 or 2007 were eligible to participate while for the under-20, any athlete born in 2004 or 2005 would be allowed to take part in the event.

There will also be a vetting process done on athletes before they participate. AK advised the athletes to present their original birth certificates and valid passports or national identification cards to the panel.
