Sprint, distance, jumps and throws — the heart of South Sudanese athletics.
South Sudan's track and field program is the country's most decorated athletic discipline, producing Olympic qualifiers in middle and long distance events despite limited tracks and equipment.
Most athletes train on dirt strips, often barefoot, traveling hours from rural villages to reach the few maintained venues in Juba. With even modest investment, the talent pipeline grows quickly — from school meets to continental championships.
The federation now supports more than 200 registered athletes across sprint, distance, jumps and throws, with a development pathway that funnels emerging juniors into national camps.
U16 and U18 squads with year-round coaching in Juba, Wau and Malakal.
Senior athletes targeting African Championships and World Athletics qualifiers.
Certifying local coaches to keep talent training at home rather than abroad.
Every contribution to the Track and Field federation goes directly into athletes, coaches and infrastructure — fully tracked and reported back.
