The anticipation is building as the 4th Annual Aviation Cup Africa Golf Tournament gears up for an exhilarating showdown at the Ikeja Golf Club from May 16 to 17, 2025. Prominent aviation companies and institutions, including ExecuJet Nigeria FZE, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), and the African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC), are already entering their teams, all vying to dethrone the reigning champions, Uganda Airlines.
The tournament, which began in 2022 with only a handful of participants, has rapidly evolved into a premier Pan-African event that showcases the spirit of camaraderie within the aviation industry. Last year’s inaugural two-day competition attracted significant attention, culminating in a thrilling victory for Uganda Airlines, with South African Airways emerging as a close second.
“From humble beginnings to the grandeur of a continental sporting event, the Aviation Cup has become a highlight on our industry calendar,” said one of the tournament organizers. “We are thrilled to see the growing participation and enthusiasm from aviation entities across Africa and beyond.”
The upcoming edition promises to be more exciting than ever, featuring the newly introduced HospitaliTee Trophy. This special award will recognize business entities and government institutions enhancing the aviation experience through hospitality offerings, including in-flight catering services, airport eateries, hotels, and more. This addition underscores the comprehensive nature of the aviation industry and the importance of collaboration among its diverse stakeholders.
The event will not only be about competition; it will also host an Aviation Night, a vibrant gathering for industry professionals to unwind and build connections away from the formalities of conferences and summits. “Aviation Night will showcase the lighter side of our industry, creating an opportunity for networking and camaraderie,” the organizer added.
With a reputation for bringing together key players in the aviation sector, the Aviation Cup is expected to attract not only local participants but also international figures, highlighting the ever-growing importance of aviation in Africa.
As teams prepare to take to the greens, the stage is set for an unforgettable weekend of golfing excellence, industry networking, and spirited competition. Will Uganda Airlines maintain their crown, or will a new champion emerge? Mark your calendars for May 16-17, 2025, as the Aviation Cup Africa Golf Tournament promises to deliver excitement and a celebration of the aviation community’s passion and resilience.
