The Africa Challenge Cup

The Africa Challenge Cup football tournament arrives in Cape Town and this year, we’re going BIG!!! More matches, more players, more fans and so much more fun thrown in with healthy amount of business development.


With some 6,000+ attendees across aef and YES!, this year’s Challenge Cup will test four teams as they battle it out over two matches under the floodlights of Africa’s number one football pitch, the Cape Town DHL Stadium.

  • Each match will be one hour (30min halves)
  • Games will be 15 aside, with each team having 30 players

And for those not playing, you’ll get to spend the evening with all your colleagues and business partners, but this year, we also invite you to bring [free of charge] your friends and family (over 18 years of age) to take in the atmosphere of the stadium and cheers on your team.
