Lagos will host Africa’s first-ever E1 Electric Powerboat Championship on October 4 and 5, marking a historic move for electric water sports on the continent.

The city’s selection places it on the global map of cutting-edge sustainable racing, as the event combines high-speed competition with eco-friendly technology.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced the decision on Sunday, July 20, 2025, calling it a “major milestone” for Lagos and Africa.

The race features silent, zero-emission powerboats, pushing the boundaries of clean motorsport.

On the announcement day, Sanwo-Olu stated, “Lagos will become the first African city to host the E1 Championship, setting the stage for innovation and sustainability in marine sports.”

This event aligns Lagos with forward-thinking cities that have previously hosted the E1 series, including Jeddah, Venice, Monaco, and Marbella.

It integrates the city’s vibrant maritime environment with international sustainability efforts.

The championship will entertain and inspire local interest in STEM and green technologies.

Global attention and local impact on Lagos

The E1 Championship’s arrival in Lagos promises to boost tourism and economic activities while showcasing the city’s ability to support significant international events.

It will expose local communities to advanced technologies and new career paths, especially in engineering and environmental sciences.

The governor emphasised the opportunity for Lagos to be “a leader in modern marine sports while demonstrating its commitment to sustainable development”.

Moreover, this global event signals a shift in how marine sports are approached, reducing the carbon footprint associated with traditional powerboat racing.

Fans and participants worldwide will witness the agility and power of electric boats on Lagos’ waters, reinforcing the city’s standing as a dynamic and innovative urban centre.

Lagos’ hosting of the race is not just a sporting moment but a demonstration of Africa’s capability to engage in future-forward technologies and entertainment sectors.

The event is scheduled to occur early next October, setting the stage for an electrifying showcase in every sense of the word.
