Sport Nigeria LTD/GTE is excited to announce the inaugural Sports Africa Investment Summit (SAIS), set to take place from November 19th to 20th, 2024, at the Lagos Continental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Momentum continues to build following the official announcement on August 19th, 2024. With participants from across the globe registering to attend, SAIS promises to be a catalyst for sustainable investment in Africa’s sports ecosystem, driving economic growth, social development, and cross-sectoral collaboration.

As Africa’s sports industry emerges as a significant force for achieving sustainable development, the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda highlights sports’ potential in addressing 7 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including empowerment, health, education, and social inclusion.

At SAIS 2024, global stakeholders will explore how to turn this potential into an impactful reality. The summit will focus on key areas such as sports industrialization, community impact, gender inclusion, and regulatory reforms, identifying new opportunities for sustainable development.
