The University of Calabar is preparing to host what could become the most digitally connected edition of the Nigerian University Games Association (NUGA) Games.

At the centre of this transformation is a comprehensive digital ecosystem designed to connect athletes, volunteers, spectators, sponsors, and university administrators before, during, and after the Games.

The platform combines athlete registration, news updates, announcements, media services, sponsorship engagement, volunteer management, and communication tools within a single digital environment.

Participants will receive updates through integrated communication channels, while sports fans will have access to a steady stream of news, photos, videos, and event information.

By leveraging technology to improve accessibility, engagement, and visibility, NUGA UNICAL 2026 is positioning itself as a new benchmark for university sports events in Nigeria and beyond.
