Carry1st, the Africa mobile games editor, announced the return of his badge Call of Duty: Mobile Tournament as part of the Africa Cup race 2025.
With more than 200 teams and more than 1,000 players, this year’s tournament will be the largest and most competitive so far. In a historical movement for African electronic sports, Activision has also been officially recognized by Activision as a classification tournament for the Call of Duty World Championship: Mobile World 2025.
This unlocks a direct route for African talent to compete internationally in the largest stage.
On the basis of the success of last year’s event, which had teams from five African regions, the 2025 edition will include seven African regions: Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, North Africa (Egypt and Morocco), Kenya, Uganda and Francophone West Africa (Cameroon, Ivory Coast and Senegal). This marks the second installment of the badge of the Africa Cup of this year, highlighting the continuous commitment of the company with the competitive game of Africa.
Call of Duty: Mobile Tournament of Carry1ST will run from May to July, which will culminate in August with the great LAN finals in Lagos, Nigeria, where a $ 15,000 awards group will be available. The Champions of the Carry Cup in Africa will ensure the coveted slot of Africa in The Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship 2025 and will compete for their part of an amazing group of awards of $ 1 million on the global stage.
The regional qualifiers will be extended for the next three months to determine which teams advance to the large LAN finals. With the matches that will be held on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, each region will pass through its own phase of groups, playoffs and regional finals.
“We are excited to announce the return of Call of Duty: Mobile as part of our Carry1st Africa Cup this year,” said Guillaume Noah, Vice President of Growth in Carry1ST, in a statement. “Last year it was incredible and showed us what the talent of this continent can do when the appropriate platform was given.
“Now we are increasing bets with more players and more regions. For the first time, our tournament has also been recognized by Activision as a qualifier for Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship 2025, which means that players not only play for pride at home; they are also competing for the opportunity to play against the best in the world.”
As part of Card1st’s continuous commitment with inclusion for Africa players in Africa, a special wild card has also been introduced. This wild card will allow African teams from countries outside the seven main qualified regions, such as Mauricio and Tunisia, enter, ensuring the possibility of Pan -African representation on the world stage.
“We are delighted to collaborate with Carry1ST in the Africa Cup. This tournament is emerging as an important moment for African electronic sports, creating real opportunities for the best duty: mobile players to break and compete worldwide,” said Jeffrey Gullett, Co-Head of Call of Duty: Mobile at Activision.
