Limei Partners with African Union to Build 40 Multi-Sport Halls Across Sub-Saharan Africa

Each multi-sport hall will feature 800 square meters of Limei’s AfricaFit Flooring—a specially designed variant that resists termite infestations, heavy rainfall, and UV damage. The flooring supports basketball, volleyball, and netball, with adjustable court lines and modular net systems for versatile use. The halls will also include seating for 500 spectators and basic sports equipment storage.

The project prioritizes rural communities and urban slums, with each hall serving as a hub for sports training, community events, and youth development programs. Limei will collaborate with local contractors for construction, creating over 1,000 jobs, and train local staff in flooring maintenance. The first 10 halls are underway in Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana, with completion by December 2027.

“Access to sports facilities is key to fostering youth empowerment and social cohesion in Africa,” said Mr. Moussa Faki Mahamat, Chairperson of the African Union Commission. “Limei’s partnership will help us bring quality sports infrastructure to communities that need it most.”

The initiative aligns with the AU’s “Agenda 2063” goals of promoting inclusive growth and sustainable development through sports.
