Join our online conference "Sports Governance Crisis and Sports Underdevelopment in Africa" on 28 September 2021
organised by PLAYYA Nigeria together with Premium Times Centre for Investigative Journalism (PTCIJ) and HEDA Resource Centre
Lagos, 15.09.2021 – As the first of its kind, this online conference examines major structural problems of African sports. It links grassroots experiences and insights into international sports administration with broader social, political and economic realities to better understand the challenges at hand. It also explicitly examines the role of investigative sports journalism in exposing systemic problems. While issues like doping or match-fixing are directly related to sporting practice, other malpractices in the sports industry like bribery and corruption, money laundering and tax evasion, or human trafficking and sexual harassment are closely intertwined with society at large. The conference analyses these complex interrelations, debunks the fiercely defended notion of the "autonomy of sport" and relates the African (and global) "sports governance crisis" to the broader issues of good governance, human rights and sustainable development. Please register online and join us on 28 September 2021 at 3:00 PM (West Africa Time / UTC+01:00).
