Enugu to Host 2026 Coal City Games With November 27 Opening and 20-Sport Lineup

The National Sports Commission has confirmed the Coal City Games will run from November 27 to December 11 in Enugu. Teams will arrive on November 25–26 ahead of the opening ceremony on the 27th. These dates were finalised after a productive meeting between the NSC Director-General and the Enugu State Governor. Organisers praised the governor’s rapid facility upgrades. The DG said this festival will be the best-sponsored and best-funded in history, thanks to a landmark commitment from Premium Trust Bank. To keep costs manageable, the number of sports has been set at 20. Fifteen events are compulsory—including Athletics, Basketball, Football, Swimming, Wrestling and their para disciplines—while the host state will choose five more.
