African Sixes Lacrosse Championships 2026
Wednesday 2nd to Saturday 5th December
Ridgeway Oval \, St Stithians College\, Johannesburg
The 2026 African S ixes Lacrosse Championships bring together men's and women's teams from So uth Africa\, Ghana\, Kenya and Uganda for four days of continental competi tion. Organised by the African Association of Lacrosse with the South Afri ca Lacrosse Association\, and supported by World Lacrosse\, the championsh ips are hosted at St Stithians College.
Sixes is lacrosse at its fastest: six players a side\, a smaller field and a shorter game\, with the action rarely stopping. The format is quick to follow\, which ma kes it a good first lacrosse match for newcomers.
The wee k opens with a ceremony on Wednesday 2nd December and the opening match. P ool play continues to run on Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th\, and the champio nships finish on Saturday 5th with the women's and men's gold medal matche s and a closing ceremony.
Beyond the competition\, the ch ampionships are a chance to grow the game in Africa. Alongside the matches \, there are plans for St Stithians pupils to learn and train with the nat ional teams\, so the week leaves something behind for local players and sc hools.
Whether you play\, coach\, teach or simply love a good sporting event\, this is the best week to see African lacrosse at its most competitive!
