WINDHOEK, July 27 (Xinhua) -- The Namibian Electronic Sports Association (NESA) and the Korea eSports Association (KeSPA) will be entering into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to further the development of esports and international programs for esports athletes in both countries, an executive said Wednesday.
This will be Namibia's first entry into an agreement with a fellow esports association and is a monumental step in developing esports in Namibia, NESA spokesperson, Salome de Bruyn said in an announcement.
NESA will be flying in the KeSPA delegation to Namibia for the signing scheduled for Saturday in Windhoek, she added.
"We believe that MoUs such as this are crucial to the healthy growth of esports in Namibia. Securing co-operative agreements with associations from other countries provides new opportunities and career possibilities for all involved," she said.
According to de Bruyn, the agreement also provides Namibia with the chance to learn from more experienced esports scenes which, in turn, ensures that NESA can develop the esports scene faster, and more skillfully than before.
"NESA is making strides to put Namibia on the global esports scene as not only a region that participates in international esports, but actively participates in the developmental efforts for the arena and athletes in multiple countries," she concluded. ■
