Each court will feature Limei’s WeatherShield Outdoor Sports Flooring, which is treated to withstand Africa’s harsh climate—resisting UV damage, heavy rainfall, and termite infestations. The courts will be multi-purpose, supporting basketball, volleyball, and netball, with adjustable height hoops and modular net systems.
The project will prioritize rural and urban underserved communities, with each court accompanied by a sports equipment donation and coaching training program for local youth leaders. The first 10 courts are underway in Kenya, Nigeria, and Ghana, with completion by December 2025. Limei will also collaborate with local contractors for installation, creating jobs and building regional expertise in sports flooring maintenance.
“Access to quality sports facilities is a key driver of youth development and community cohesion,” said Mr. Issa Hayatou, ASC President. “Limei’s commitment to building these courts will empower thousands of African youth to pursue their athletic dreams while fostering teamwork and leadership skills.”
The partnership aligns with the ASC’s “Sports for All” initiative, which aims to increase sports participation across Africa by 30% by 2030.
