The University of Fort Hare (UFH) is following a global trend by investing in their sports programs, with a goal to reclaim its position in the South African university football’s premier league by 2025. UFH’s skilled goalkeeper, Nkosiyethu Ngobe, represents the potential for a return to prominence in college football. Cyprus and the European Union also prioritize sports as a means to enhance social integration, education, and development of the youth. UFH’s football aspirations are part of a larger movement where universities prioritize sports as a symbol of athletic prowess and integration of students into diverse cultural and social systems.
