Joel Ajayi
Nigeria – With seven days to the 2026 All Africa Challenge Trophy (AACT), Coordinator of Girls in Golf, Uloma Mbuko Ogbuokiri, is highlighting the importance of creating opportunities for young girls to discover, learn and excel in the sport as Nigeria prepares to host the continental women’s golf championship.
Through the Girls in Golf Legacy Project, AACT 2026 is seeking to extend the impact of the championship beyond the competition course by encouraging greater participation among young girls and helping to nurture the next generation of female golfers.
The initiative includes a mentoring target of 300 girls, providing an opportunity to introduce more young people to golf while inspiring confidence, discipline, leadership and ambition through sport.
The project reflects the broader objective of strengthening women’s golf in Nigeria and across Africa by building a pathway for young girls to develop their interest and skills, with the hope that more will eventually progress into competitive golf.
As countries prepare to gather in Abuja for AACT 2026, the Girls in Golf initiative also reinforces the importance of using major sporting events to create lasting opportunities for future generations.
Nigeria will host the All Africa Challenge Trophy for the third time, following the 1996 edition at Ikoyi Club 1938 in Lagos and the 2010 championship at the IBB International Golf & Country Club in Abuja.
The 2026 tournament is scheduled for November 2 to 7 at the IBB International Golf & Country Club, Abuja, under the slogan “Uniting Africa through the greens.”
With seven days remaining, the focus is not only on the golfers who will compete for continental honours, but also on the young girls who may be inspired to take up the sport and become the champions of tomorrow.
7 DAYS TO GO.
