Maties Esports will proudly represent Stellenbosch University at the 2025 USSA National Championship, taking place in Johannesburg from 28 to 30 August. The club will travel with a squad of 24 student-athletes competing in three titles: FC25, Valorant, and Rocket League.
After a remarkable performance in 2024, where Maties secured a silver medal thanks to the outstanding efforts of Kayla du Plessis and the Rocket League team, they aim to build on that momentum and strive for even greater success this year.
“We’ve seen incredible growth in the club, both in numbers and in competitive level. Taking 24 student-athletes to a national stage is a huge achievement for Stellenbosch University, and we’re excited to showcase the depth of talent we have,” says Yaseen Gangat, Maties Esports Club Manager
This competition will bring together the top university esports teams in South Africa, making it one of the premier events on the student esports calendar. With a mix of experienced veterans and promising first-year players, Maties Esports is confident in their ability to compete for podium finishes in all three titles.
