The World of Esports is growing at an incredible pace, bringing together athletes, fans, and organizations from all over the world. With Esports expanding so quickly, having a strong island unified international governing body is more important than ever.
For more than 15 years, the International Esports Federation has played a key role in shaping the World Esports landscape, with 151 member nations. IESF has built a structured and competitive ecosystem that promotes fair play, athlete welfare, and long-term development through its 16-year legacy.
A Unified Global Movement
Unlike commercial Esports organizations, IESF is a non-profit organization, focused on supporting and growing the World Esports community. Our mission is clear: to ensure sustainability, diversity, inclusivity, and fair governance while creating opportunities for athletes worldwide.
Through collaboration with governments, international sports bodies, and key stakeholders, IESF is actively integrating esports into traditional sports structures while ensuring it maintains its unique identity and culture.
Esports on the Olympic Path
The Olympic Dream is not just about participation, it’s about recognition. Esports athletes train, compete, and dedicate their lives to excellence, just like athletes in any other sport.
As our former president Vlad Marinescu, stated: “The Esports Athletes deserve the same respect, opportunities, and pride that come with representing their nations as any other athletes, on the world’s most prestigious sporting stage. IESF is dedicated to making this a reality.”
By creating structured pathways for competition, fair play, and athlete development, we are ensuring that Esports athletes stand proudly alongside their peers in traditional sports. The journey to full Olympic recognition continues, and IESF has paved the way, turning the dream into reality, one milestone at a time.
IESF is not just an organization, it’s a worldwide movement working together to build a better future for esports.
Building bridges, not barriers.
