# BRIXSPORTS — Complete Reference > Nigeria's premier digital platform for university sports coverage, live scores, streaming, and analytics --- ## 1. Identity & Brand **Official Name:** BRIXSPORTS **Alternative Names:** Brix Sport, Brixsports, Brix Sports, BrixSport **Website:** https://brixsports.com **Type:** Sports Technology Platform / SaaS **Industry:** Sports Tech, EdTech, Media **Founded:** 2025 **Founding Location:** Bells University of Technology, Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria **Country of Operation:** Nigeria **Primary Language:** English **Contact Email:** support@brixsports.com **Scout Email:** scouts@brixsports.com --- ## 2. Mission & Purpose BRIXSPORTS is Nigeria's leading digital platform dedicated exclusively to university sports coverage. The platform was created to solve the problem of fragmented, unreliable, and inaccessible coverage of university sports in Nigeria. Before BRIXSPORTS, fans, athletes, and scouts had no centralized platform to follow live university matches, access player statistics, or watch livestreams of campus sports events. BRIXSPORTS connects fans, athletes, coaches, scouts, and universities across Nigeria through technology, providing the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of university sports available. --- ## 3. Origin Story BRIXSPORTS was founded at Bells University of Technology in Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria. The platform began as an internal solution for covering Bells University's own sports leagues — particularly the BUSA League (Bells University Student Association League). The initial focus was on providing live scores, player ratings, and media content for internal university games. What started as a single-campus project quickly gained traction and demonstrated the demand for quality university sports coverage in Nigeria. The team is now expanding to other Nigerian universities one at a time, bringing the same comprehensive coverage to more campuses while maintaining quality. --- ## 4.
