The problem we saw
Across Africa, sports organizations — from grassroots academies to national federations — operate under complex regulatory frameworks from bodies like NFF, CAF, FIFA, and WADA. Yet the tools they use to manage compliance are overwhelmingly manual: paper files, scattered spreadsheets, and institutional memory.
The result? Licensing delays, failed audits, governance opacity, and a trust deficit that repels the international investment African sports deserves. Clubs lose licensing status not because they lack capability, but because they lack systems.
Tessari was built to change that. We're creating the digital infrastructure that makes governance transparent, compliance automated, and institutional excellence achievable at every level of the sports ecosystem.
"African sports institutions can't attract international investment — not because of talent quality, but because of governance opacity. That's a solvable problem."
