Esports for Schools Across Africa

Bringing world-class school esports to Africa

International and independent schools across Africa are joining the DAIGON network — structured School Esports with global competition access.

Local context

Why DAIGON for African schools

  • Africa's international school sector is growing rapidly, with major hubs in South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco, Tanzania, and Ghana.
  • DAIGON's ISA partnership covers many of Africa's leading international schools, providing competition access and a route to the School Esports World Championship.
  • Africa has one of the fastest-growing youth gaming populations in the world — structured school esports through DAIGON provides a pathway for that passion to develop into skills.
