The Aviation Cup Africa Golf Tournament is back for its third edition at the Ikeja Golf Club on May 31st and June 1st, 2024, marking a significant expansion to a two-day event. This prestigious tournament, which celebrates aviation’s multifaceted impact on sport, tourism, and diplomacy, has become a hallmark event in the industry calendar.
Last year’s tournament, held alongside the Aviation Africa Summit in Abuja, saw the participation of major aviation brands like Boeing and the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), as well as prominent players such as Air Peace and Dana Airlines. Notably, Grp. Capt. USA Sadiq and Nasir Yahaya from FAAN emerged victorious in the Corporate Foursome Challenge, demonstrating the competitive spirit within the aviation community.
Looking ahead to this year’s tournament, organizer Sòókò Deji Ajomale-McWord expressed anticipation for an even more exciting event. With both corporate and singles matches on the agenda, including the highly anticipated Corporate Foursome Challenge, participants can expect intense competition and camaraderie among agencies, private sector players, and individual golfers.
Ajomale-McWord highlighted the event’s focus on fostering connections, promoting healthy competition, and recognizing excellence within the aviation sector. Attendees can look forward to a dynamic blend of networking opportunities, recreational enjoyment, and an investiture ceremony honoring outstanding contributions to the industry.
As the Aviation Cup Africa Golf Tournament continues to evolve and grow, it remains a symbol of the vibrant synergy between aviation and leisure, underscoring the industry’s pivotal role in driving economic growth, cultural exchange, and global connectivity.
