Professor Abdelaziz Konsowa, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research and Acting Minister of Culture, the conference was opened by President and Vice-Chancellor Professor Mohamed Loutfi MBE and H.E. Professor Ashraf Sobhy, President of the Federation of Africa University Sports (FASU) and former Minister of Youth and Sports. The Games run to 16 September 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The opening was attended by Mr Leonz Eder, President of the International University Sports Federation (FISU), along with university leaders, academics, and representatives of university sports bodies from across Africa.<\/p>\n<p>The conference features 130 research papers on the future of university sport, covering the healthy campus, governance, disability, anti-doping, sports marketing, artificial intelligence and e-sports, talent identification, and sport for peace and sustainable development.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Loutfi said that hosting the conference reflects The British University in Egypt\u2019s view that a university\u2019s role extends beyond its campus, and that sport and scientific research can combine to build stronger institutions that serve their communities. He said the University hosts the headquarters of the Federation of Africa University Sports and is FISU\u2019s exclusive academic partner across Africa and the Arab region, a role that links research with practice and with the strategic planning of university sport.<\/p>\n<p>H.E. Professor Ashraf Sobhy said that university sport is one of the main channels bringing together young people across Africa, and that holding the conference alongside \u201cCairo 2026\u201d supports the exchange of knowledge and cooperation among African university students.<\/p>\n<p>The conference is one of several roles the University is playing during the Games. As host of the FASU headquarters, it is accommodating university presidents, senior leaders, and delegations from across Africa on its campus, and providing facilities and organisational support for the event.<\/p>\n<p>Two weeks earlier, The British University in Egypt campus hosted the torch relay ceremony for the 12th All-Africa University Games, which brought together university sports leaders and students ahead of the competitions. During the Games, the institution is also holding a workshop on the development of university sport and the African University Vice-Presidents\u2019 Forum, under the title \u201cUniversity Sport as a Catalyst for Institutional Excellence and African Development\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The University said its involvement in \u201cCairo 2026\u201d extends beyond hosting events to supporting the delegations and institutions taking part, and reflects its position as a centre for academic and sporting cooperation between Egypt and countries across Africa.<\/p>\n<p><img   decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/amayei.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2026\/09\/PHOTO-2026-09-13-11-14-41.jpg-1.jpeg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"854\"><\/p>\n<h3>About <a href=\"https:\/\/dailybusiness.info\/\">The British University in Egypt\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Following a 1998 Memorandum of Cooperation between the governments of Egypt and the United Kingdom, The British University in Egypt was founded in 2004, and is Egypt\u2019s premier private British university.
