Regional Integration of Esports Leagues Across Africa

TLDR

• Africa is home to 54 countries, hundreds of cities, thousands of communities and one of the youngest populations in the world.
• The African esports industry should embrace regionalisation as a growth strategy rather than treating localisation as a secondary objective.
• Regional integration offers another opportunity unique to Africa.
• A network of city clubs, regional leagues, national championships and continental competitions connected through African media, African organisers and African businesses could become one of the world’s most sustainable.
• For years, the African esports conversation has been dominated by one objective: getting African players onto the global stage.
