This November, the heartbeat of African sports will be felt in Kampala, Uganda, as the African Women in Sports Initiative (AWISI) hosts the much-anticipated African Women in Sports Summit 2025. Set to take place from 26–28 November at Hotel Africana, the summit promises to be a landmark gathering for athletes, administrators, scholars, and advocates committed to reshaping the future of sport on the continent.

The summit’s theme is as urgent as it is inspiring: advancing gender equality in sport, tackling gender-based violence, and ensuring that women are not only participants but leaders and decision-makers across all sporting arenas. Attendees can expect a vibrant programme of a full-day conference, networking sessions, exhibitions, and a welcome cocktail designed to foster collaboration and visibility.

Beyond the sessions, the AWISI Summit offers a rare opportunity: to stand at the frontline of change, share ideas, and build networks that transcend borders. It is a call to action for those who believe in inclusion, fairness, and the boundless potential of African women in sport.

Registration is now open, and Kampala is ready to welcome a community that refuses to sit on the sidelines of history. If you believe in the power of sport as a force for empowerment and equality, this is your moment to show up.
