<h1>New national esports federation recognized by two major international bodies, replacing former representative and gaining co-organizing authority</h1> A national esports federation has been admitted to two major international esports bodies, replacing the previously recognized national body and becoming the authorized representative for the country on those global platforms, with authority to co-organize international tournaments. A founder-advisor of the new federation has been appointed senior advisor to one international body. Membership is said to afford competition access, ecosystem development, global networks, government recognition support and technical resources. The federation cites compliance steps toward national sports-federation status-international recognition and active presence in at least half the states-and recently hosted a nationwide esports championship attended by senior government and sports officials.
