The 1XBET Dashiki Fest ’25 wrapped up spectacularly after five exhilarating days of community action, competitive sports, and cultural celebration.

Hosted by the ever-vibrant MJ the Comedian, the festival brought together thousands in a powerful display of unity, Afrocentric pride, and social impact

Day 1 – Giving Back to the Community (July 1st)

The festival began on a purposeful note with a community clean-up exercise at Labadi Borla Junction. Volunteers, residents, and festivalgoers joined hands to clear waste and raise environmental awareness in the area.

This act of service set the tone for a week centred on responsibility, sustainability, and positive community action.

Days 2 to 4 – Football Gala Fever Takes Over Labadi

Excitement reached fever pitch as the 1XBET Dashiki Football Gala unfolded over three action-packed days at the Labadi Wireless Astroturf.

Eight teams competed fiercely, displaying skill, teamwork, and sportsmanship that thrilled spectators.

Team S&S ultimately clinched the title, earning bragging rights and the admiration of fans.

In recognition of their triumph, the winning team received a special training kit, courtesy of 1XBET, to support their continued development and training needs.

Adding to the excitement, 1XBET also presented a Top Scorer award, honouring the most prolific goal-scorer of the tournament—a gesture that emphasised their commitment to nurturing local talent.

Day 5 – The Grand Dashiki Walk & Cultural Explosion (July 5th)

The grand finale on July 5th was a vibrant celebration of identity and unity.

Dressed in colourful Dashikis, hundreds of participants embarked on a symbolic walk from the Trade Fair Centre to Independence Square and back to the Labadi Wireless Astroturf Park.

The Dashiki Walk was more than a procession—it was a proud display of African heritage, resilience, and solidarity.

As the sun set, the park transformed into a lively cultural stage. Artists, dancers, and performers captivated the crowd with electrifying shows, blending music, dance, and storytelling into an unforgettable celebration of African excellence.
