AfroSport, the sports business wing of the African Sports Centre, has announced its third round of speakers ahead of the second edition of the AfroSport Summit which is set to take place on August 2 and 3 at the Accra International Conference Center.
The summit, which is a two-day event, looks to bring together major stakeholders of sports on the continent of Africa and beyond for the sole purpose of learning and sharing ideas, advancing discussions, and networking in a unique intersection of science and business.
The event consists of a congress, industry talks, an expo, and gala cocktail, and some of the major conversations will be around data, research and technology, sports education, talent development & performance, eSports, sports tourism, and more.
Last year’s event attracted sponsorship from brands such as Opta, Cruyff Institute, La Liga, Ghana Olympic Committee, and Ghana Football Association.
