the African scene.

What the sources allow us to establish

Clear coverage.
Gaps made visible.

A country without a profile does not mean it has no esports scene. This atlas is a documented census, with coverage gaps between regions.

Understanding statuses and map markers

Documented edition: outcome, result or completed status found; the sources indicate the level of confirmation. Announced programme: published dates, without evidence that the event has already taken place. Past, occurrence to be confirmed: the date has passed but the corpus provides no outcome. Forecast: announced project or month, days unknown.

The points are rounded city centres. A venue's name may be verified without its exact coordinates being so. In players mode, public bases and their date are kept separate from the country represented. An old base is not a confirmed current residence.

Events straddling 1 January 2026 are included if part of the programme takes place within the window. Their original dates are preserved.

Multi-game events are a single record; the Phygital Rivals strands are identified as strands of the same event. A participation, a club headquarters and a nationality do not constitute a residential address.
