Two traditional sports, Draught and Ncho will be featured in the first ever Anambra traders sports championship scheduled to hold between October and November this year.
The Main Organising Committee (MOC) included the two board games during its meeting in Awka on Thursday.
Patrick-Estate Onyedum, Chairman of Anambra State Sports Development Commission who presided over the meeting also inaugurated six subcommittees of the competition.
The subcommittees included Finance/Contact/Mobilisation, Technical, Media/Publicity, Ceremonial/Protocol, Administration and Venue/Facility/Logistics/Security.
Onyedum said the traders’ competition which used to feature only football for men had been expanded to feature Football, Tennis and Table Tennis with Draught and Ncho as additional competitive games.
He said the championship was open to both men and women while calling on the markets to prepare and assemble their best athletes to represent them.
