2026 CAF Esports Teams
Team Tryouts were held in May 2026 by Overactive Media. Thank you to all who submitted their interest and enthusiasm to represent the CAF Esports team.
Here are the teams representing CAF Esports for the 2026 season:
British Esports is hosting the first International Defence Esports Games (IDEG) from 8-11 October 2026 at the brand new state-of-the-art National Esports Arena in Sunderland, UK. Teams from up to 30 nations, including Albania, Japan, Netherlands, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Slovakia, United Kingdom and the United States, will be competing in four different games: Counter Strike 2, iRacing, Rocket League and Velocidrone.
IDEG26 will be the first global Esports Championships for serving Military (Regular or Reserves) from across partner countries. The intent is to use the popularity of esports to create a fun, collaborative and positive environment to showcase future cyber and digital skills and talent for the armed forces.
CODE BOWL
Established in 2023, the RCAF Game Force Call of Duty team defied the odds in October 2023 by attending their first ever C.O.D.E. Bowl and brought the winning championship title north of the border! The team set three tournament records including:
First Esports gaming championship Win for Canada, at first ever attended event
First military team with a female participant
Team member, Corporal Ryan “GetPicked” Mezei was awarded the C.O.D.E. Bowl Monster MVP, a title that was first introduced in 2023
In June 2026 veteran players, Team Alpha: Aces, GetPicked and DLow were joined by rookies, Team Bravo: Chamane, Fresh, and Goofy to represent CAF Esports at C.O.D.E. Bowl VII. The team gathered at the University of Ottawa to compete and engage with our military allies from each of the UK and US. While not the results the team had hoped for, it was a great opportunity. Congratulations go to the British Air Force who captured this year’s title!
The RCAF Game Force Call of Duty team - 2023 C.O.D.E. Bowl Champions - looked to defend their title at the 5th annual C.O.D.E. Bowl this past August 2024 in Washington, D.C. See all of the highlights here!
