Preparations ahead of the 2026 National Games of Cameroon, dubbed Dixiades, have already begun with key meetings bringing together actors of the organising committees and the National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSC).
The session held Wednesday, May 6, 2026 in Yaounde was presided over by the General Coordinator of the Committees, Grégoire Owona, and featured the presentation of the official logo of the Games scheduled to take place in Douala from December 13 to 22, 2026.
During the meeting, stakeholders reviewed progress and outlined priority areas to ensure the successful organisation of the event.
Key focus was placed on logistics, security, athlete accommodation, as well as sanitation, nutrition and the live broadcast of competitions, all considered critical to delivering a smooth and high-standard sporting event.
The meeting also brought together Presidents of Regional Olympic and Sports Committees (CROS), National Sports Federations, local organising committees, and partners involved in the planning process. CRTV, as the main communication partner, is expected to play a central role in ensuring wide media coverage of the Games, alongside other stakeholders supporting various operational aspects.
Speaking at the end of deliberations, the Secretary General of the Cameroon National Olympic and Sports Committee, David Ojong, stressed the importance of coordinated efforts among all actors.
He noted that national federations will work closely with the technical departments of Regional Olympic and Sports Committees to guarantee effective preparation and execution of the Games.
With momentum building and coordination strengthening, the Douala 2026 Dixiades are on course to stand out as a major sporting rendezvous, showcasing Cameroon’s commitment to sports development and excellence.
