Can Luanda Become Africa’s Next Sports Capital?

It’s a question that’s lingered in my mind, not just as a thought, but as a quiet conviction.

Luanda has always been a city of contrasts, but beneath the surface noise, there’s a growing heartbeat of movement. In this section, I follow that rhythm, exploring the potential of Luanda to rise as a true sports capital in Africa.

Here, you’ll find more than just races and workouts. From community events that fill the streets with joy, to quiet mornings at a golf course, each video captures a piece of a city in motion.

Some moments are carefully observed, others are simply caught by chance, but all of them reflect a truth often missed:
Luanda moves.
Its people move.
And maybe, just maybe, that’s how cities grow, not only through concrete and plans, but through the energy of those who live, sweat, run, cycle, stretch, and dream within them.
