The National Sports Authority (NSA) have approved and recognised the Ghana E-Sports Federation (GESF) as the sole governing body of E-Sports in Ghana.
This follows the fulfilment of all registration requirement demanded by the NSA.
Following a meeting of the GESF resident, Igor Boumekpo, and the NSA in February, details for having an autonomous status as sole governing body responsible for regulating and managing all E-Sports-related activities in the country, were discussed.
This recognition by the NSA is expected to mark a groundbreaking development for the E-Sports community in Ghana, and the gaming community in Africa holistically.
