Structure

Confederation of African Esports, like other sports confederations, is constituted as a voluntary association.

The highest authority of the CAES is the Annual General Meeting which holds all Committees accountable for their actions.

The management board deals with the day-to-day operations of CAES and overseas the different Boards of Control.

History of the emblem

In 2008 the logo included the mind sports logo. The mind sports logo was dropped in 2013 in favour of the wording 'CAES'.
