As part of the second edition of the Sport Impact Awards, Sport Impact has launched a call for entries to honour and reward a selection of initiatives with a strong economic and social impact in Africa.

The second edition of the Sport Impact Awards will reward the commitment of a new class of winners to replicate the best sports projects on the African continent.

The Sport Impact Awards ceremony is part of the Sport Impact Summit, a federating event that brings together international personalities and decision-makers to address, in a very concrete way, issues at the heart of the development of sport and development through sport in Africa.

Each winner will also receive a financial or material grant as well as support from Sport Impact in the promotion and enhancement of the winning initiative at several events planned for the second half of 2023.

The ceremony will take place on the evening of 1 June 2023 at "The Venue" in Dakar, Senegal. The winners will be announced at the ceremony.
