This week, global leaders, development finance institutions, and innovators gathered in Cape Town for the Finance in Common Summit 2025 (FiCS)—and we were proud to be part of it.
Our partner Uel MIGAN-GANDONOU joined the FiCS Sport Investment Forum as a speaker on February 27th, contributing to the thematic workshop on Innovative Sport-for-Development (S4D) Funding Instruments. The session brought together practitioners and investors exploring how sport can serve as a powerful vehicle for social impact when supported by creative financing models.
Throughout the forum, discussions centered on unlocking capital for sport-for-development initiatives, strengthening partnerships, and increasing the measurable impact of sport-based programs worldwide. The energy in the room reflected a shared belief: sport is more than a game—it’s a catalyst for economic and social progress.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this conversation and to collaborate with organizations working to scale S4D solutions globally.
