Games first
ACL starts as a games and culture brand. The first title planned is a football game. Basketball and car racing games are planned later, as a line of separate titles.

Africa's game.
Played on Africa's phones.
Africa Champions League (ACL) is a gaming culture and entertainment brand in the making. We start with football and sports games, built Africa-first, with basketball and car racing planned after that.

What it is
A games and entertainment brand, built for African players first
Separate from the leagues
The games are a separate product from the leagues inside them. The leagues you play in are fictional and live inside each game. They do not use real clubs, players or competitions.
Africa-first by design
We aim for phones and PCs first, with small downloads and play that copes with patchy data and older devices. Consoles and merchandise are long-term plans, not near-term promises.
Honest status: ACL is at the design stage. There is no playable game, no app, no store listing and no live service today.
Games · coming
A line of games, one at a time
Football
Our first planned title. Mobile and PC first, with fictional clubs and players. Details are still being designed.
Basketball
Planned after football. No design, date or platform has been set.
Car racing
Planned after football. No design, date or platform has been set.
Long term we want to reach PC and consoles as well. No platform holder has approved or agreed to anything, and no console release is promised.
Look and feel · concept art
Where the games are headed, visually
These images are AI-generated concept art showing the mood we are aiming for: African settings, fictional teams and fictional players. They are not screenshots from a game and show no real clubs, players, sponsors or competitions.
Characters · concept sheets
Original, fictional characters
Early AI-generated concept art turnarounds (front, side, three-quarter) for the 3D character style we want to build towards. Every character is an original fictional design, not based on a real person.
Concept stage only: no 3D models, animations or game builds exist yet.
Community and leagues · coming
Fictional leagues, real rivalries
Inside each game, players will compete in leagues that exist only in the game: made-up clubs, made-up players, made-up trophies. Clubs and leagues in the games are fictional and do not represent real organisations.
- Play with friends and community groups
- Seasons and tables inside the game
- Built for short sessions on a phone
These are plans. None of this is available to play today.
Browse the fictional 2026-27 leagues
Football, basketball and motorsport: invented teams, people and circuits, pre-season tables, placeholder dates.
Merchandise · coming
Wear the culture, later
Merchandise is a long-term idea: ACL-branded apparel and accessories. It is a concept sketch only. Nothing is for sale and no products exist yet.
Any future merchandise will use original designs only. Our name is subject to trademark clearance.
Live streams and broadcasts · coming
Watch the action, eventually
We plan community streams and broadcasts of in-game matches and events. There are no scheduled shows, channels or events at the moment.
When there is something to watch, it will be announced to the waitlist.
