Theme: Building Africa's Football Future: Investment, Governance and Grassroots Excellence
The Africa Football Business Summit (AFBS) 2025 returns for its 4th edition in the coastal city of Mombasa, Kenya—a world-renowned tourist destination that perfectly complements our focus on the intersection of football and tourism development. This year's Summit brings together key stakeholders from across Africa and beyond to explore how strategic investment, effective governance, and grassroots development can build a sustainable future for African football while unlocking tourism opportunities.
As Africa gears up for CHAN 2025 and AFCON 2027, the Summit will provide a timely platform to discuss strategies for long-term impact, investment excellence, and transformative growth in both the sports and tourism sectors.
Why Attend?
AFBS 2025 is more than just a conference—it is a unique catalyst for change. The Summit will:
✅ Drive Investment Excellence: Explore innovative financing models, public-private partnerships, and sustainable investment strategies that can transform African football infrastructure and development programs.
✅ Strengthen Governance Frameworks: Facilitate discussions on transparent governance, regulatory best practices, and institutional reforms needed to build trust and accountability in African football.
✅ Champion Grassroots Development: Showcase successful grassroots programs, youth development initiatives, and community-based football projects that are building the next generation of African talent.
✅ Unlock Tourism Synergies: Analyse how football events and sports tourism can drive economic transformation, leveraging Mombasa's tourism excellence as a model for sustainable development.
✅ Review CHAN 2025 Success: Identify best practices, lessons learned, and strategic improvements for future continental competitions based on real outcomes and data.
✅ Prepare for AFCON 2027: Equip host nations and stakeholders with actionable insights to ensure world-class event delivery while creating lasting economic, social, and football legacies.
✅ Connect Key Players: Bring together industry leaders, investors, policymakers, grassroots organisations, and innovators who are actively shaping the future of African football.
Scheduled two months after CHAN 2025 and with AFCON 2027 on the horizon, #AFBS2025 is the ultimate platform to align investment strategies, strengthen governance frameworks, celebrate grassroots excellence, and create a transformative blueprint for Africa's sustainable football future.
Set against the backdrop of Mombasa's stunning coastal beauty and rich cultural heritage, the Summit combines serious business discussions with the relaxed atmosphere of one of Africa's premier tourist destinations, creating the perfect environment for meaningful connections and strategic partnerships.
Don't just take our word for it. Hear from past attendees how the Africa Football Business Summit has provided an outstanding forum for engaging in thought-provoking discussions, building strategic partnerships, and driving actionable change. WATCH #AFBS2024 Official video:
