what is
Afrosport?
The socio-economic potential of sport is incredibly limitless.
From being a primary amusement activity, sport now transforms economies in a multi-billion-dollar industry of its own, while occupying a special place as a powerful force for social change and development.
At the heart of this revolution is heavy capital investment, radical innovations, and tremendous scientific drive.
While many around the world benefit from sport’s true power, Africa, unfortunately, lags in exploiting the boundless opportunities on offer.
This has resulted in a painfully slow growth of the sport industry on the continent, a lamentable near-sideline of an opportunity to boost socio-economic growth, and struggle to compete internationally on the field and beyond.
AfroSport brings together major sport stakeholders in Africa and beyond to a special event for learning and sharing ideas, advancing discussions, and networking in a unique intersection of science and business.
A gathering of sport clubs, leagues, federations, athletes, coaches, distinguished personalities, businesses, academia, media and more, the two-day conference aims to fuel development, tackling the continent’s peculiar challenges and charting a new course for socio-economic growth.
The event consists of a congress, industry talks, expo, gala cocktail, and more.
