Others are table tennis, taekwondo, tennis, tug of war, volleyball as well as wrestling.

While speaking during the opening ceremony, the CAS noted that the NAF places high premium on physical and mental fitness, and would continue to ensure its personnel engage in sporting activities in order to retain the agility required of a fighting force. Air Marshal Abubakar, who expressed satisfaction with the large turnout of personnel, commended them for their participation and urged them to sustain the military culture of regular exercise for effective and efficient service delivery. The CAS also commended the Chief of Administration NAF Headquarters, Air Vice Marshal Kingsley Lar, for organizing the competition and ensuring that Wednesday Games are revived to further enhance the battle readiness of personnel.
The competition is also expected to be replicated in all NAF units across the country. Aside the monthly Inter-Branch and units competition, other fitness activities NAF personnel engage in include the quarterly route march exercise, 10km walk/jog, Wednesday games and combat sports competition.
