With the theme, “Connecting Africa Through Art, Chess, Innovation and Culture,” the championship is designed to promote continental integration through creative expression, intellectual competition, cultural exchange and tourism while showcasing Africa’s rich artistic heritage and emerging creative economy.

“The All Africa Art & Chess Championship is more than a competition. It is a continental movement aimed at connecting Africa through creativity, strategy, innovation and shared cultural heritage. We are creating opportunities for collaboration, investment, tourism and sustainable development while showcasing the immense talents that exist across the continent,” the organisers said.
Beyond the championship, participants will have the opportunity to experience guided heritage and tourism activities in Egypt, providing a unique blend of competition, networking and cultural exploration.
