TikTok in collaboration with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has launched a new challenge using the hashtag #KeepUpWithAfrica. 

This comes as part of the celebration of Africa Day on 25 May which aims to recognise Africa by shining the light and celebrating the talent that African footballers possess and share with fans around the world.

During this period, TikTok users are urged to come together to show their keepie uppie skills, using the duet feature in-app and tagging the #KeepUpWithAfrica hashtag on the platform, or even show the world their African spirit by doing their own video, tagging @caf_online, and sharing #KeepUpWithAfrica
