Celebrating young talent across East Africa
African Chipkizi Cup brings together boys and girls from youth clubs and schools across East Africa for a week of competition, friendship and opportunity in Arusha, Tanzania.
Where talent gets seen
African Chipkizi Cup runs on hundreds of matches across a single week, with clubs travelling from Tanzania and neighbouring countries to take part. That scale only works if fixtures stay organised, results reach coaches and families the moment a match ends, and every player competes in the age group they actually belong in.
No one knows what the future holds for an aspiring young athlete. Through the African Chipkizi Cup, boys and girls have been scouted both locally and internationally — including in Spain, the UK, the USA, Kenya, Belgium and Denmark. Players have gone on to university scholarships in the USA, UK, Tanzania and Kenya, and both boys and girls have received call-ups to national teams.
Our mission
To give every young athlete in East Africa a fair, well-run stage to play, be seen and grow — on and off the pitch.
Our vision
A region where talent is discovered wherever it lives, and where sport opens doors to education and opportunity.
What we're building toward
Fair age categories
Every division has an age cutoff, checked automatically when a player is registered — so a U13 team is actually U13.
Live, transparent results
Scores, standings and the knockout bracket update in real time, and every match, team and player is one click away.
Long-term player tracking
Every player gets a profile that follows them across editions, so a career — not just a season — starts to take shape.
Five sports, one festival
