Lagos to Host Africa’s First-Ever E1 World Championship in October 2025
E1, Lagos
In a groundbreaking moment for both sports and sustainability, Lagos is set to host the E1 World Championship, the world’s first all-electric powerboat racing series, this October 2025. This marks the first time the prestigious event will take place on African soil, bringing global attention to Nigeria’s commercial capital.




Set against the scenic backdrop of the Lagos Lagoon, the event is not only a major sporting milestone but also a symbol of progress in clean energy innovation. The E1 Championship, often dubbed the “Formula 1 of the seas,” features cutting-edge electric raceboats that showcase the future of water-based mobility and environmentally conscious competition.

For Lagos, this is more than just a sporting spectacle. It places the city firmly on the international stage, blending technology, sustainability, and sport in a way that aligns with Nigeria’s broader push for green energy adoption and climate resilience. It also promises a tourism and economic boost, as teams, media, and fans from around the world converge on the city.

The event’s arrival in Africa underscores the continent’s growing relevance in global sporting circuits and its role in conversations around clean energy and innovation.

As the countdown to October begins, Lagos prepares not just to host a race — but to make history.
