This unique competition, designed to resemble a soccer tournament and held in cooperation with the CodinGame platform, attracted the attention of his more than 1,200 students from his 153 universities in 15 countries in Africa and the Middle East.

The overall winner, his team from MISA University (Madagascar), won a fully equipped room for the school and his one year of free training on new technologies provided by the Orange Digital Center.
Goals for a good cause: internal esports tournaments for charity
At the same time, Orange Africa and the Middle East also organized a pan-African internal esports tournament, “Goal for a Cause,” involving employees from 14 countries. The competition aims to promote unity, and the number of goals scored will determine the number of children who will receive a coding session. Thanks to her 115 goals achieved from January 15th to February 1st, Orange will sponsor her 115 children in coding sessions at her Orange Digital Centers in Africa and the Middle East. I promised. In the February 1st tournament, the “Corporate MEA” team overcame fierce competition to win. As a reward, I had the privilege of attending the TotalEnergies CAF African Cup of Nations final in Abidjan.
