New clubs – Team Wave, GnG Esports, Supreme Leaders and Club Sportif Sfaxien – join in as the 2025 Tunisian Esports Super League kicks off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tunisia.- Tunisia\u2019s esports ecosystem is gaining strength, with the Tunisian Esports Federation<\/strong> (TunESF) officially welcoming four new clubs<\/strong> into its national structure<\/strong>. Team Wave, GnG Esports, Supreme Leaders and Club Sportif Sfaxien joined the Federation in October, ahead of the country\u2019s main competition, the Tunisian Esports Super League 2025 (TESL 25).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TESL 25 started on November 12 and finishes in late December, with the finals scheduled to take place in person on a date still to be confirmed. The multi-title<\/strong> competition features EA FC 26, eFootball Teams, Mobile Legends, Valorant, Counter-Strike 2 and League of Legends in a packed national calendar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TunESF said: \u201cThese organisations strengthen our competitive<\/strong> ecosystem and broaden participation <\/strong>across multiple titles, wishing the newcomers a season full of challenges and success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TunESF said the admission of the four clubs will deepen competition and open more pathways for local players<\/strong> to enter organised esports. As a recognised national sports federation under Tunisian law, TunESF is working to professionalise <\/strong>competitive gaming through structured national leagues, development initiatives<\/strong>, workshops, game jams and community events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With new teams, an expanding game roster and a growing competition schedule, Tunisia is positioning itself as one of North Africa\u2019s most organised and fast-rising<\/strong> esports markets. The momentum around TESL 25 is expected to reinforce the country\u2019s role in shaping the future<\/strong> of esports in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n
