Congratulations to the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon on becoming Africa’s first Abbott World Marathon Major 🏅🌍 A historic milestone for South Africa and the continent.

It’s here. 🌍

After years of racing, building, and believing, the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon has officially passed the final stage of assessment and become the 8th Abbott World Marathon Majors race in the world. And the first, ever, on African soil. 🏅

On 23 May 2027, we take our place alongside Tokyo, Boston, London, Sydney, Berlin, Chicago and New York.

But this moment doesn’t belong to us. It belongs to you. Every runner who showed up season after season. Every partner, sponsor, volunteer, club captain, and supporter who refused to let go of this dream. 🙌

Africa. We did this. This is our collective victory. ✨

Africa’s 1st Major

【FIH Hockey Men’s Nations Cup 2026 Comes to Cape Town】

South Africa will host the International Hockey Federation Men’s Nations Cup 2026 in the city of Cape Town from 11–20 June 2026.

Both Japan and South Africa will participate in this prestigious tournament. The Men's Nations Cup also serves as an important pathway to the FIH Hockey Pro League, with the tournament winner earning the opportunity to compete in the following season.

The tournament marks the return of the Men's Nations Cup to South Africa, which successfully hosted the inaugural edition of the competition in Potchefstroom in 2022. The event highlights South Africa's continued role as a host of major international sporting competitions and offers a platform for some of the world's top hockey talent to compete on the global stage.

We wish Team Japan and Team South Africa every success and look forward to an exciting tournament in Cape Town.

南アフリカは、2026年6月11日から20日まで、ケープタウンにおいて国際ホッケー連盟（FIH）男子ネーションズカップ2026を開催します。

本大会には、日本と南アフリカを含む各国の代表チームが出場します。男子ネーションズカップは、FIHホッケープロリーグへの昇格を目指す重要な大会でもあり、優勝チームには翌シーズンのプロリーグ出場権が与えられます。

また、本大会は男子ネーションズカップが南アフリカに戻ってくる大会となります。南アフリカは2022年にポチェフストルームで開催された男子大会の第1回大会を成功裏に開催しました。

今回の開催は、南アフリカが国際スポーツ大会の開催地として重要な役割を果たし続けていることを示すとともに、世界トップレベルのホッケー選手たちが国際舞台で競い合う機会を提供するものです。

日本代表チームと南アフリカ代表チームの健闘をお祈りするとともに、ケープタウンで素晴らしい大会が開催されることを楽しみにしています。
