UNILAG Leads the Way in Hosting the 11th Federation of African University Sports (FASU) Games

The University of Lagos (UNILAG) is poised to make a significant impact as it hosts the 11th Federation of African University Sports (FASU) Games, set to take place across the UNILAG and Lagos State University (LASU) campuses. This prestigious event, which will bring together over 1,500 athletes from across Africa, is not merely a sporting event but a pivotal investment in the future of African youth, unity, and the visibility of sponsors and media partners.

In a recent press conference, UNILAG’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Folasade Tolulope Ogunsola, OON, FAS, highlighted the profound significance of the FASU Games. According to Professor Ogunsola, “The FASU Games is not just an investment in sports; it is an investment in the future of our youths, an investment in the strengthening of African unity, and certainly an investment in the visibility of sponsors, partners, and the media.”

The 11th FASU Games are set to be a cornerstone for youth development, offering a platform for young athletes to showcase their talents, compete for accolades, and forge connections that will enhance Africa’s sporting ties. This event serves as a unifying force, aligning universities, athletes, and corporate partners towards a common goal of fostering future leaders and promoting continental unity.

UNILAG’s role extends beyond hosting; it reflects the University’s broader mission of integrating sports into youth development and promoting African unity. By facilitating this high-profile event, UNILAG underscores its commitment to nurturing young talent and supporting organizations that champion these values.

As the FASU Games approach, taking place on both the UNILAG and LASU campuses, we invite the public to engage in this significant event. Cheer on the athletes, support the vision of the games, and be part of a memorable experience that contributes to Africa’s advancement.
