The African Sport Summit
The Senegalese Legacy
November 2nd, 2026
Dakar Senegal
The African Sport Summit is an opportunity to question the contribution of sport to the development of African societies, but above all to consider tangible solutions for the future.
The event will bring together African sport stakeholders in an African Sport Summit. Participants will question the legacy of the past, present and future African Games, Olympic Games and more generally sports mega-events. They will deepen the issue of sustainability in sport through infrastructure, education, training and youth employment which places national sports policies at the center of the debate. Questions of the contribution of the private sector and the redistribution of wealth will inevitably arise.
The event is also dedicated to sealing an alliance by hosting sports clubs and federations from around the world. We will consider practical and realistic solutions to advance fairer, more inclusive and sustainable sport in Africa. The questions of the development of sport and the development through sport in Africa will be challenged.
More than just a conference, the African Sport Summit is the design of a legacy in the form of an action plan which will be the subject of evaluations over the course of other African Sport Summits. To achieve this objective, for this first edition of the African Sport Summit , Ministers of Youth and Sports of the World Sports Alliance IGO will be invited to participate. Academies will be introduced, the host country of the International Academy will be announced and the roadmap to award scholarships to thousands of young student-athletes across Africa will be presented.
