Welcome to NUGA UNICAL 2026 e-Registry

Register. Connect. Participate. Belong.

The NUGA eRegistry is the official digital registration and engagement gateway for the Nigerian University Games Association (NUGA) and the 28th Nigerian University Games – NUGA-UNICAL 2026, Paradise Games.

It is more than a registration page. It is the digital foundation for a smarter, more connected, better-governed, and more commercially productive NUGA ecosystem — linking athletes, universities, officials, volunteers, alumni, sponsors, media partners, fans, and stakeholders into one trusted digital NUGA / Nigerian University community.

Through the NUGA e-Registry, every participant and stakeholder can be properly profiled, verified, communicated with, engaged and connected before, during and after the Games.

Intelligent Integrated Registration

NUGA e-Registry is a Registration as a Service System (RaaSS) - an intelligent digital registration, profiling and stakeholder management system designed to power the transformation of the Nigerian University Games.

It provides the digital infrastructure for:

• Participant and stakeholder registration
• Athlete, official, volunteer and media accreditation
• Event communication and notifications
• Volunteer coordination and service deployment
• Alumni and supporter engagement
• Sponsorship and partnership intelligence
• NUGA social networking and community building
• Games service access, identity verification and governance

In simple terms, the NUGA e-Registry is the digital identity and engagement backbone of Paradise Games 2026 and the future of Nigerian university sports.

It also lays the foundation for two major long-term NUGA transformation platforms:

1. NUGA / Nigerian University Social Network

A trusted digital community where athletes, students, alumni, coaches, universities, fans and partners can connect, share opportunities, celebrate achievements and sustain engagement beyond the Games.

2. NUGA / Nigerian University Alumni Network

A structured platform for mobilising alumni support for university sports development — including athlete sponsorship, facility development, training support, competitions, mentorship, career opportunities and institutional partnerships.
