Africa presents a promising market for esports growth. The continent boasts a young and expanding population, with over half of Africans under 25 – the demographic most interested in esports.

Lastly, Africa has a rich gaming and competitive culture.
This partnership offers mobile operators a unique opportunity to tap into this burgeoning market and make esports content easily accessible to their users.
Simplice Anoh, CEO of DAT, expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating, “Esports remains a tremendous opportunity in Africa, and we are delighted to partner with Clipfeed to open the doors for mobile operators on the continent to benefit from this thriving industry.”

The esports industry is expected to reach a value of $1.6 billion in 2023, with Africa emerging as a key region for potential growth. The African esports market is growing faster than the global average, and it is projected that the number of esports enthusiasts in sub-Saharan Africa will reach 222 million by 2025.
