African Esports competitors gain access to the Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship 2025 through Carry1st Africa Cup program
In exciting news for the African gaming community, Carry1st, Africa's leading games publisher, is bringing back its flagship Call of Duty®: Mobile tournament. This year's edition, the Carry1st Africa Cup, serves as a qualifier for the Call of Duty®: Mobile World Championship 2025, offering African gamers the opportunity to compete against the world's best and gain continental and global recognition.
Guillaume Noé, VP of Growth at Carry1st, stated that the tournament is a testament to the growing passion for esports across Africa. "Gamers are competing for the chance to play against the world's best," he said.
To participate, gamers must register early on the official Carry1st Africa Cup platform before the registration deadlines. Last year's deadlines were around mid-July, so it's essential to check the site for the current timeline.
The tournament is open to top Call of Duty: Mobile teams across Africa. Regional qualifiers, such as national-level qualifiers exemplified by the Nigeria qualifier won by team Sierra7, will secure a spot in the continental grand finals.
The LAN Grand Finals, scheduled for August 30–31, 2025, in Lagos, Nigeria, will see the top 8 teams from Africa face off for a prize pool of $15,000 and a chance to advance to the global World Championship.
This year, the tournament expands to include players from seven African regions: Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, North Africa (Egypt & Morocco), Kenya, Uganda, and Francophone West Africa (Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Senegal). A Wildcard Slot opens the door for countries like Mauritius and Tunisia to join the tournament, reinforcing Carry1st's commitment to wider inclusivity.
Jeffrey Gullett, Co-Head of Call of Duty: Mobile at Activision, added that the tournament is shaping up to be a major moment for African esports. The winner of the tournament earns Africa's only slot in the global finals, where $1 million is up for grabs.
Teams participating in the tournament must have at least 5 players and 1 substitute. Qualifying teams for the tournament will have their travel costs covered by Carry1st. For the latest information on registration, rules, and schedules, players should monitor the official Carry1st Africa Cup website and social media channels.
Partners like Spotify enhance the event experience, celebrating African esports talent and offering an unparalleled opportunity for gamers to make their mark on the global stage.
