The Sports Wellness Summit

African sport stands at a pivotal moment. The continent's youth represent a vast reservoir of athletic talent, passion, and potential. However, this potential is under threat from a convergence of systemic challenges that operate beneath the surface of victory and competition. Young athletes are navigating a high-pressure environment where mental health is stigmatized, substance abuse and doping present a tempting but destructive shortcut, and foundational wellness from injury prevention to proper nutrition is often overlooked. The African Youth Sports Wellness Summit 2025 is a landmark three-day convening designed to move beyond conversation and catalyze concrete action. We will bring together a multi-sectoral coalition of athletes, coaches, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and community leaders to confront these challenges head-on. This summit is not just an event; it is the foundation of a movement to build a healthier, safer, and more sustainable ecosystem for the next generation of African champions.
