The Gambia will host the 5TH biennial Conference of the African Sport Management Association (ASMA)

In a few days’ time, The Gambia will host the 5TH biennial Conference of the African Sport Management Association (ASMA). The four-day conference which starts on Tuesday, the 22nd of February, was initially slated for March of 2021, but was postponed twice largely as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic.

The ASMA was founded in 2010 on the occasion of the 17th biennial conference of the international conference of the International Society for Comparative Physical Education and Sport held in Kenya.

It aims to promote educational and professional sport management in Africa and the rest of the world by ensuring that sport management becomes an academic discipline with the view to not only contribute to the socio-economic advancement of Africa, but the rest of the world too.

The Gambia won the bid to host the 5TH biennial Conference in 2019 at the 4th biennial conference in Nairobi, Kenya on the tag, ‘The Gambia is Ready’.
