For the first time in Africa, the taekwondo electronic headgear will be used at the Third Chika Chukwumerije Sports Foundation (CCSF) International Opens holding in Abuja on October 24 and 25.

According to the founder of CCSF, Chika Chukwumerije, the headgear would be used during the Rio Olympics qualifiers holding next year in Morocco.

“At this year’s CCSF Opens, there are lots of innovation and first is the technology being used – the Daedo electronic headgear. The first edition of this tournament was the first tournament ever in Nigeria to use the Daedo Electronic Body gear, which inspired all other tournaments to follow suit in Nigeria. Now this will be the first event in Africa to use the Electronic Head Gear. This gear was not even used in the just concluded African Games. Thus, the fact that we are using the latest technology is a huge pull for Africa countries, especially given the fact that the Olympic qualification tournament to be held in February 2016 in Morocco will be using this same equipment,” he said.

The Beijing Olympics bronze medalist added: “The event is coming just a month after the African Games, so it would be great to see how newly crowned African Champions fare in this tournament.
