Women's sport in Africa needs leaders. It's time for action.

Women’s leadership in African sport remains significantly underrepresented. Despite their talent, skills, and ambition, many women continue to face cultural, institutional, and economic barriers that limit their access to leadership and decisionmaking roles.

From 7 to 9 December 2025 in Dakar, the International Conference on Women and Sport in Africa (CIFSA), organized by CONFEJES, will bring together: political and institutional decision-makers, elite athletes, experts and researchers, and advocates for gender equality.

Together, we will exchange insights, share concrete solutions, and build a path toward fair representation of women in sport, on the field and in leadership positions.
