As the African gaming industry continues to expand, Game X Africa is committed to playing an active role in shaping its future, amplifying talent, creating opportunities, and strengthening the continentās presence in the global gaming landscape.

As part of the Network of Academic and Scholastic Esports Federations (NASEF), Game X Africa is represented in a highly selective global fellowship, with only 36 members worldwide for the 2025/2026 cohort. This affiliation places us within an international network that uses esports as a tool for education, career readiness, and social development. It ensures that our programs are aligned with global best practices in youth development through gaming.
We are also worked with Cape Town Science Centre for activities and through Marc Joubert,Director for NASEF South Africa actively contributed to initiatives linked to National Science Week.
