There is no doubt sport has seen a major transformation over time and continues to evolve. From being a primary amusement activity, sport is now transforming national economies, opening up the business landscape and building a multi-billion-dollar industry of its own.
At the heart of this revolution is heavy capital investment, radical innovations, and tremendous scientific drive.
As this disruptive but progressive wind sweeps across the world, Africa, unfortunately, has been rather slow in catching up with the frenzy.
This has resulted in a general marginal sport-fuelled development of the continent over time, a very slow business growth of the industry, and struggles to compete internationally on the field and beyond.
This narrative, however, must change!
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, national associations and federations, governing bodies, sports personalities, business entities, media and more, the one-day conference aims to fuel sport development, tackling the continent’s peculiar challenges and charting a new course for development.
Above all, AfroSport aims to deliver an experience! This conference will be broadcast live on media platforms (social and traditional media) across Africa and the world.
