Nigeria Welcomes AUSC Inspection in Bid to Host 2031 African Games
The National Sports Commission has confirmed Nigeria’s bid to host the 2031 African Games. Delegates from the African Union Sports Council will arrive in Abuja for an official inspection tour on March 30 and 31, 2026. Nigeria’s proposal highlights its long history of staging major international events and growing investments in sports infrastructure. The NSC says this bid reflects the country’s vision to strengthen its standing as a leading sporting nation. During the two-day visit, the delegation will review key venues, transport links, and support facilities. They will also evaluate Nigeria’s organisational capacity and technical expertise against established hosting standards. Securing the games is expected to drive new infrastructure projects, boost local economies, and expand youth engagement in sports. It would also reinforce Nigeria’s influence within the African sporting community.
