Athletics Africa is a dedicated source for Africa athletics news content and information at home and in the diaspora. We are Africa’s first niche track and field content studio devoted to the promotion and growth of grassroot athletics development on the African continent.
Athletics Africa digital team uses immersive and powerful editorials, video series and live podcasts, across multiple platforms, to take athletics fans beyond the track and field to sneek a peek into the backstories, personalities and lifestyles of top African athletes.
We provide up-to-date news and information about African athletes, administrators and officials globally throughout the day as close to real-time as possible.
Our award-winning website also offers incisive features and articles written by the editors and sourced from freelance reporters and athletics experts across the continent.
