Matias “Kandali” Fillemon, the Tekken athlete for Namibia, has his work cut out for him as he challenges top athletes from Congo, Djibouti and South Africa to be one of the two athletes from the African region to go through the Global Finals.

And representing Namibia in eFootball PES 2021, Rashaad “Jinx” Matjila will have to fight his way through Congo, Senegal and South Africa to secure his position as one of the two athletes from the African region in the Global Finals.
