Lagos State Wins South West Games 2025

Hosts Lagos has emerged the winner of the inaugural South West Games 2025 and BAT SWAG, which came to a thrilling end on Friday at the Mobolaji Johnson Stadium Onikan, where the closing ceremony took place.
Team Lagos won 14 gold, five silver, and two bronze medals to emerge winners.


Ogun State came 2nd place with 10 gold medals, while Ondo State came 3rd with 3 gold medals.
U-18 athletes from the six states of the region also competed in the games, which were held from the March 25 to 28 in seven sports; football, basketball, archery, table tennis, athletics, boxing, and volleyball.
The Lagos team capped their performance at the games with an overwhelming haul of medals in table tennis, boxing, and archery. In table tennis, Lagos took home all five gold medals on display and two silver medals while taking a commanding lead in boxing, winning all four gold medals available.

The hosts were also impressive in archery, winning seven medals (four gold, two silver, and one bronze medal) to finish on top of the overall table with 14 gold, five silver, and two bronze medals.

Convener of the games Lanre Alfred noted that that the games will be sustained as an annual event.

“The games are an avenue to address the daunting challenges facing young people in the South West, from limited exposure to socio-economic struggles. With BATSWAG, we hope to celebrate Tinubu’s visionary leadership while providing a platform for young talents to dream, achieve, and inspire others.

“For about a week, these young athletes found purpose, direction, and joy in sports. This is a cause worth sustaining and supporting by our governors and corporate organizations alike. We cannot do it alone. The South West Games belongs to the youth, and as leaders and stakeholders, it is our responsibility to ensure that they have the platform they need to thrive. To every sponsor, every governor, every administrator, and every individual who contributed to making this event a reality, I say thank you. The journey has only just begun, and with continued support, we will take the South West Games to even greater heights,” Alfred added.
