The 3rd FISU-FASU-
NUSF Seminar


The seminar whose theme was
“The Role of University Sports


as a Vehicle for Institutional
Development” left participants
yearning for more information
and interaction. This gave birth
to online monthly conversations
on topics of interest, with the
following amongst the most
popular so far: Why a Healthy
Campus? How we celebrated
IDUS; Financing University
Sports; and the FASU Games
postmortem and Future Games.

The 1st FASU Vice
Chancellors Forum
The objective of the Vice
Chancellors Forum is to create
a platform for discussion and
exchange of ideas among
Africa’s leading universities.
The involvement of top decision
makers of universities was
noted as key to the development
of university sports, among
other observations. The Vice
Chancellors of the different
University present also
committed to meeting regularly
in addition to other resolutions.

FASU International
Volunteers Program
The first edition of the FASU
international volunteer
program was also held. The
program offered students the
opportunity to actively take
part in the FASU Games as
volunteers. These students
supported organizers while
enjoying the unique adventure
of learning about the values
of sport and gaining valuable
work experience through
volunteering. For starters, 10

international students were
offered the opportunity to join
the local volunteers during
FASU activities in Kenya.

Hannington Musoke
This year also witnessed
the retirement of our long
serving administrator from
service at the secretariat.
Hannington Musoke served
FASU from 2010 till July 2022
when he requested to leave.
He is credited with playing a
significant role in the growth
of University Sports in Africa

tenure. We thank him for his
dedicated service and wish
him all the best in future
endeavours.
