After six days of competitive gaming, socialization, seminars, and demos, the maiden edition of Accra Esports Week, Ghana’s biggest esports experience, will come to an awesome climax on Saturday, January 14, 2023.
The event starts from 4:00pm at the Food Court of Accra Mall, Ghana’s premium mall.
It will be the grand finals of some of the major games played throughout the week. The winners will take home over GHC20,000 in cash prizes and surprises.
Accra Esports Week started with a massive opening at the Esports Academy, Haatso, with top FIFA 23 players battling it out for a place in the grand finals in the Accra Esports Week edition of Conquest, Ghana’s most competitive esports event.

“Accra Mall always introduces new experiences to our shoppers and visitors. Accra Esports Week happens to be one of those unique events we believe our customers will find exciting and engaging.
