Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) originally allocated the prize money to the esports title ‘eFootball™’, as published by Konami, but since such esports title does not allow person to person play over the  internet, MSSA has agreed to reallocate the prize money to the EA SPORTS™ FIFA 2022 sports titles.

With the MSSA’s NWU Online School League about to start on 25th of July 2022 esports athletes devoted to the FIFA 2022™ esports title now stand to participate in the generous prize money as offered by North West University (NWU).

The prizes are divided into three categories:
