Watch: South Africa embraces Phygital Football

The phygital sports movement is gaining a lot of momentum across Africa. In the past year, there have been over 16 phygital tournaments across the continent, with 240 clubs competing for a coveted spot at the annual Games of the Future.

The World Phygital Community – which organises grassroots tournaments across the globe – now has members in 23 African countries. Recently the WPC hosted a Phygital Football demo in Johannesburg and spoke to local players and organizers about why phygital is becoming so popular.
