African esports federations and organizations are rallying to secure spots in the Esports Nations Cup (ENC) 2026, with national team partners now tasked to build squads for the November Riyadh showdown
African Participation
From over 100 selected partners worldwide, African nations like South Africa, Nigeria, Morocco, Egypt, and Togo have active bids through orgs such as USA Esports equivalents and local groups like Togo Esports. Togo announced its Dota 2 roster via Afrowest, while broader calls urge Morocco and Nigeria to leverage their AFCON-caliber talent pools for titles including CS2, Dota 2, and Mobile Legends.
Preparation Steps
National managers must recruit via open qualifiers starting soon, targeting 1,000+ players across 15+ games with a $45M total prize pool; Rocket League Africa Regional is already underway. “Africa needs representation,” notes AfroGamer, amid concerns over continental inclusion.
