The Sol Plaatje University (SPU) Sport Precinct, a first of its kind in the Northern Cape, will be officially opened by SPU’s Vice-Chancellor and Principal Prof Andrew Crouch on 24 March 2023.

SPU officials and stakeholders will be joined by the National Lotteries Commission, who partly funded the Sport Precinct project that started in 2016. Conveniently situated in the heart of Kimberley, the SPU Sport precinct is a mixed use facility that has sport offices, student residences, a conference facility, and  world class sporting facilities for soccer, netball, hockey, tennis, basketball, rugby, cricket and volleyball.

As a premier attraction to the city, the SPU Sport Precinct will deliver an exceptional visitor experience to both supporters and attendees. A proud member of the Northern Cape community, SPU has made the precinct available for hire to the public for recreational purposes, as well as affiliated sports and recreation clubs.

Sol Plaatje University prides itself on providing excellence and establishing strong long-term relationships with our stakeholders. We encourage the public to use and access our spaces, and to join SPU as a trusted partner for events and sports.
