Present on Friday, December 19, 2025, at the Grand Stade of Kpalimé for the official launch of the 2025–2026 season of the School and University Championships (CSU), the President of the Togolese E-sports Federation, Steven Dadji, expressed his satisfaction with the integration of e-sports as a demonstration discipline in the 2025–2026 CSU season.
“It is a pleasure for us, but also a recognition of the efforts undertaken. We are very happy to see our discipline integrated into the school and university championships as a demonstration sport.”
According to the head of Togolese e-sports, this first appearance in a national school competition represents a strategic opportunity to promote the discipline.
“The objective is first and foremost to promote e-sports, which is the competitive practice of video games. At the end of this championship, we hope that young people will truly embrace the discipline. There will be training, and we aim to identify new talents, equip them, and prepare them to compete with countries that are already more advanced than Togo.”
Beyond gaming, Steven Dadji highlighted the economic and educational potential of the discipline.
“To the youth, we say that video games are a real opportunity. E-sports represent opportunities for job creation and training.”
E-sports is thus taking another step toward recognition as a fully-fledged sporting discipline in Togo, one year after the establishment of its national federation.
