The Lesotho National Olympic Committee (LNOC), also known as the Commonwealth Association of Lesotho, has entered a landmark partnership with the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC).
The two bodies signed a cooperation agreement this week on the sidelines of the Commonwealth Sport General Assembly currently underway in Glasgow, Scotland.
The agreement marks a major step forward in strengthening bilateral relations between the neighbouring National Olympic Committees, laying the foundation for coordinated collaboration in several priority areas.
These include high-performance sport development, technical capacity building, athlete support, and improvements in sports administration.
LNOC officials described the signing as a strategic milestone that aligns with both countries’ ambitions to elevate the standard of Olympic and Commonwealth sports in the region. In a statement issued after the ceremony, the leadership emphasised the importance of the partnership.
“This collaboration underscores our collective resolve to elevate sporting excellence, enhance institutional cooperation, and deepen people-to-people relations between the Kingdom of Lesotho and the Republic of South Africa,” the LNOC said.
The newly established partnership is expected to unlock meaningful opportunities for technical exchange, joint programmes, and long-term development initiatives that stand to benefit athletes, coaches, sports administrators, and national sports structures in both countries.
