CitySports Africa gears up for 5th anniversary

Opaleye added that the vision behind the creation of CitySport was geared towards the will to globally empower individuals and communities through sports by providing access to comprehensive resources, elite training, competitive platforms, global networking, and transformative opportunities.”

The organisation started in December 2019 because we felt there was a huge vacuum in the sporting sector and the sports development process,” he said.

“We had the idea of just putting things right as they should be to help develop students, so we put a place together to develop students as well as coaches. We believe you cannot have a good sports development without the right kits, tools, and facilities. City Sports went into all of these to make sure we develop students adequately.”

Soon after that, we added other sports, and between 2019 and now, we have gone into other sports. We know football is the most popular sport, but now there are athletics, basketball, swimming, as well as tennis.”

We believe there are three major levels in sports development: grassroots, academy, and professional. Also, in February this year, we formed Citysports FC, and we played in the NNL 1, where we had our first season four months ago. Basketball is the closest one that we plan to work on and have a basketball professional side as well. Athletics and swimming are also coming on board,” he said.
