WHO’S WHO IN AFRICAN SPORTS: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS/NOMINATIONS
Who’s Who in African Sports
Celebrating the Icons, Pioneers & Game-Changers of African Athletics
In stadiums, fields, rings, and tracks across the continent, Africa continues to give the world some of its most electrifying sports legends. From Olympic champions to local heroes, from grassroots coaches to continental administrators, African sports is not just about games—it’s about greatness, resilience, and legacy. Who’s Who in African Sports, a flagship project of Africa Book of World Records Limited (ABWR), is the definitive record of those who have shaped, elevated, and redefined sports across Africa.
Rewriting the Legacy of African Athletes
Africa’s contribution to global sports is often underrepresented, poorly documented, or diluted by foreign narratives. We are changing that—boldly and permanently. This publication isn’t just a record; it is a movement to tell our own stories, verify our own greatness, and immortalize those who have raised the African flag through sports.
Whether on a dusty football pitch in Lagos or the Olympic stage in South Africa, greatness deserves to be recorded. We make sure it is.
What Makes This Project Different
Who’s Who in African Sports captures:
- Athletes who’ve made significant local, national, or international impact.
- Coaches and technical experts whose mentorship turned raw talent into gold.
- Administrators and sports innovators who shaped policy and built institutions.
- Advocates and reformers who used sports to drive peace, education, and social change.
Every name featured undergoes rigorous vetting. Every profile is a testament to achievement, sacrifice, and pride.

Why Investors Are Taking Notice
Africa is home to 1.4 billion people, a youthful population, and global fanbases for football, boxing, athletics, basketball, and more. Yet, its sports economy is under-monetized. Africa Book of World Records is not just documenting African sports legends—we are centralizing Africa’s sports excellence into one platform that is credible, scalable, and globally relevant.
Who’s Who in African Sports is the bridge between untapped African sports potential and global recognition, investment, and innovation.
