How the tournament works
It all begins by selecting the best talent, aged 15-21, from the Game On Afrika Tournament (GOAT 2025).
The top 11 players and the best 3 players in the competition that showcase their talent, teamwork skills and consistency throughout the tournament, will win the big prize – a trip to the UK for 2 weeks. The winners will participate in a football trial and a tour of London.
