Skillhub Online Games Federation and International Esports Federation united to develop international tournaments to India.
With the support of India’s Minister of Youth Affairs and Sport, the collaboration between the SOGF and the IESF aims to position India as a global leader in online competitive and skill-based gaming.
In October 2024, representatives from the two parties participated in a meeting to discuss how the partnership has the potential to shape ‘the future of India’s Esports ecosystem, according to a release.
India’s politicians are no strangers to discussing the country’s Esports industry.
In April 2024, Narendra Modi, prime minister met with a number of stakeholders and Esports players to discuss recent developments within the industry.
In September, SOGF also unveiled a partnership with the International Mind Sports Association (IMSA) with the aim to build an ecosystem for mind game developers and gamers.
The IESF continues to operate its own Esports competitions around the world. In July, it opened the bidding process for the 2025 and 2026 runnings of the World Championships revealing it is open to any cities looking to host the multi-title event.
