From 23 to 28 October 2018, Canal Walk and BT Games are joining forces for the fourth annual gaming expo at the Cape Town shopping centre.

For five of the six days, local FIFA players can compete for their share of the cash and other prizes up for grabs. The good news is that entry is free. Registrations are now open for participants with eight qualifying heats on offer. The top eight players from each heat will return Sunday to compete in a double elimination playoffs to determine the overall winner.

Each of the (eight) qualifiers will be capped at 64 players and players can select the qualifier that bests their availability. The qualifiers will be a single elimination bracket. Players who qualify will need to be available to play again on Sunday.

Those keen to register can do so via the contact form here. Please note that you may only participate in one qualifier. Attempting to register more than once will result in disqualification from the competition.
