The first four years of the Arnold Classic Sport Festival Africa was successful in growing annually with sporting codes, arts, and participants.  This was clearly supported by the independent impact study produced by BMI each year.

The year 2020 was the fifth year of our 10-year business plan for ACA which included the expansion to a national footprint hosting smaller mini sport festivals under the name Sunfest Multisport and Art Festival in 9 provinces.

The impact and lockdown of Covid protocols and regulation in 2021 had a huge impact on the event industry and especially on major and mega events because of the restrictions and protocols limiting spectators and mass gatherings.  The health and safety of all participants, officials and visitors to the ACA will always be priority.  Looking forward we decided as partners to create a new home for the ACA Sport Festival by creating our own GG Tent City in an open-air environment helping us to facilitate and manage current and future covid regulations and protocols.

The Tent City is exciting, colorful, and festive bringing a whole new vision to the Arnold Classic Sport Festival Africa.  This new initiative will create an experience for all participants, officials, supporters, sponsors, and exhibitors to be part of the festival in a safe environment.  In the design of the GG Tent City, we are going to give everyone an experience they will never forget and will want to come back for more every year.
 
In the design of the GG Tent city, we will design the city around the main auditorium tent and position small, medium and large tents of different design and festive colors hosting sport and art events, closed exhibit area and an open market as well as indoor and outdoor events.

The vision of Arnold Sport Festival Africa has always been to create a shared platform for all sport and communities to share their love and passion with others and similar sport communities, in one space or venue as was done before.

In the design when creating the GG Tent City, we still endeavor to stand to our slogan:

My sport. My art. My passion.

and guarantee there will be something for everyone.
