About University Challenge Africa
University Challenge Africa, the Inter-University Battle of Brains formerly known as Zain Africa Challenge, is a proud member of the family of academic competitions created by the College Bowl Company.
Our games have been part of communities around the world for over 70 years . They also include the award-winning US programmes: College Bowl and Honda Campus All-Star Challenge and the renowned British game University Challenge.
Wherever our game is played, our MISSION is simple: Shine the light on the outstanding academic achievements of our players and universities. We have a proven record of success with participating players and their universities, broadcasters, sponsors, audiences and the general public. And it’s easy to explain our success:
In communities around the world, education is the #1 aspiration. When you support the community, the community supports you!
The competition was exhilarating for my teammates and me. Performing on the international stage boosted my confidence and gave me the courage to step out into the world and pursue my dreams.
