3RD AFRICA LAND FORCES FORUM

Port Harcourt, Nigeria, will host the 3rd Africa Land Forces Forum (ALFF 2026) — an international strategic defence forum and exhibition focused on land forces, regional security and advanced defence technologies. Hosted by the Nigerian Army, the event brings together senior military leadership from African countries, defence authorities, security agencies and leading international defence companies.

ALFF 2026 will address some of the most pressing security challenges facing the African continent, including counter-terrorism and insurgency, transnational crime and banditry, border security, operational readiness and military modernisation. Particular attention will be given to intelligence and surveillance, communications, military mobility, force protection and emerging technologies for modern land operations.

The event will feature an international defence exhibition, providing companies with an opportunity to present their capabilities directly to military and defence decision-makers. One of the key advantages of ALFF is its structured programme of one-to-one meetings with Chiefs of Army and senior military leadership, allowing exhibitors to discuss specific operational requirements, technologies and potential areas of cooperation.

The programme also includes a high-level international conference, technology presentations, panel discussions, official ceremonies, VIP networking activities and a gala event for senior military officials. The ALFF programme will conclude with participation in the 163rd Nigerian Army Day Celebration.

Eclipse Group is the official exclusive agent for exhibitors from Russia and Belarus.
