IBFF WORLDWIDE™ ANNOUNCES THE PAN AFRICAN CHAMPIONSHIP — AFRICA’S FIRST PAN-AFRICAN PRO BODYBUILDING SHOW
Zambia to host historic continental event on 27–28 November 2026
Lusaka, Zambia — [FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE] — IBFF Worldwide™ is proud to officially announce the IBFF Worldwide™ PAN African Championship, Africa’s first true Pan-African professional bodybuilding championship, taking place in Zambia on 27–28 November 2026.
This historic event will unite elite athletes, federation leaders, national representatives, and supporters from across the African continent under one banner — delivering a world-class sporting spectacle that marks a new era of bodybuilding excellence, professional opportunity, and international visibility for African athletes.
The PAN African Championship is positioned as a premier continental title event, designed to raise bodybuilding standards across Africa while creating a structured pathway for African athletes to gain recognition, credibility, and long-term professional growth within the global physique sports industry.
A CONTINENTAL MILESTONE FOR AFRICAN SPORT
For decades, Africa has produced exceptional bodybuilding talent — yet many athletes have lacked access to a professional platform that is genuinely African-led, professionally structured, and internationally presentable. The IBFF Worldwide™ PAN African Championship changes that permanently.
This championship is not simply another contest — it is a continental milestone, built to become Africa’s flagship professional bodybuilding championship, hosted in a nation ready to lead Africa forward.
ZAMBIA: THE HOST NATION FOR AFRICA’S NEW PRO STAGE
Zambia has been selected as the official host nation for the 2026 championship due to its growing regional influence, stability, and readiness to support major sporting and cultural events.
IBFF Worldwide™ recognizes Zambia as a strategic location for a Pan-African championship and looks forward to partnering with Zambian stakeholders to ensure an event that is professionally executed and internationally respected.
IBFF Worldwide™ also extends recognition to His Excellency President Chemwemwe Banda, acknowledging the importance of leadership and national support in enabling Zambia to host major events that uplift African sport, tourism, and youth-driven opportunity.
