Total Budget Required
$8,000
Covers all operational costs across both the African Qualifiers and World Championships campaigns. Total is fixed at $8,000.
Note: Carry1st covers flights, accommodation, and meals for Africa Cup Finals and African representatives at Champs as part of their standard tournament support. The $8,000 budget accounts for player and coach expenses, supplementary logistics, legal and operational costs that fall outside that coverage.

06 · Why Now

MOMENTUM
IS PERISHABLE.

01
We have the continental title
After finishing 3rd at the 2024 Africa Cup, we came back and won it in 2025. The operational blueprint is proven. The roster is sharp. We are not building from scratch; we are defending a title and pushing further.
02
Prize pools are bigger in 2026
The Africa qualifier prize has jumped from $7,500 to $11,000. World Championships payouts have also increased. The upside has grown considerably while the cost structure has not changed proportionally.
03
African esports is having its moment
The "first from Africa" story drove real brand interest in 2025. In 2026, with a proven track record and more preparation, sponsorship conversations start from a position of strength, not hope.

07 · Partnership Upside

THE NUMBERS
DON'T INCLUDE THIS.

Prize money is the floor. Sponsorships and brand partnerships are the ceiling, and we have barely scratched the surface.

🏷️
Jersey & Kit Sponsorships
Team jerseys worn at Africa Cup and World Championships represent premium real estate for brands looking to reach gaming-native African youth audiences.
📣
Event & Activation Partnerships
On-ground activations at tournaments, social content drops, and live stream integrations. Last year we secured Mentos with minimal preparation. This year we start early.
📱
Content & Media Deals
World Championship participation opens doors to broadcast, streaming, and media revenue, especially as African esports gains continental and global attention.
🤝
Long-Term Brand Equity
Investors in this campaign are not just funding a tournament run. They are getting in on the ground floor of Africa's most credentialed CODM operation.

08 · What We Are Looking For

THE ASK.
THE RETURN.

Investment
CASH PARTNER
  • $8,000 total operational budget required
  • Returns structured as a negotiated three-way revenue share between investor, Cyzygy, and players
  • Expected return: $10,038 (55% on $18,250 total, based on last year's result)
  • Strong scenario: $12,600 to $40,950 (45%, 3rd–12th at Champs)
  • Ceiling scenario: $43,800 to $108,300 (30%, 1st–2nd at Champs)
  • Additional upside from brand partnerships, not included in any figure above
🆕 Revenue share, not equity. Cyzygy Digital retains full and exclusive control over all team management, roster decisions, coaching, and operations. Investors receive their agreed share of prize earnings and have no involvement in or authority over any aspect of team operations.
📄 Formal agreement before funds move. Every investor, regardless of amount, receives a written revenue share agreement outlining terms, payout structure, and timeline before any contribution is made.
👥 Syndicate Option

The full budget does not have to come from one person. Multiple investors can pool contributions from $1,000 minimum in $500 increments. Returns are split proportionally to each party's share of the pool. Same terms, same protections, same formal agreement for everyone.
