– 1 min read
A Bavarian e-sports association has been founded. It wants to strengthen regional structures and unite local e-sports interests. It is the third regional association under the umbrella of the eSport-Bund Deutschland (ESBD).
The E-Sport Verband Bayern (EVB) was founded on 25 November 2023. Its aim is to represent the interests of the Bavarian e-sports community, promote e-sports at all levels and support the development of talent. The association (website) is made up of 15 founding organisations and gaming clubs. President is Sandra Bloy, who has a lot of experience in the e-sports sector, including her role as Marketing Manager at the Swiss e-sports and gaming agency MYI Entertainment.
It is the third regional association under the umbrella of the eSport-Bund Deutschland (ESBD). Alongside Schleswig-Holstein and North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria now also has an alliance for the common goals in the German e-sports landscape. On behalf of the central association, Martin Müller, Vice President of Popular Sports in the ESBD, was on site. He said: "The founding of the regional association in Bavaria is another important milestone. The work of the previous state associations shows how important it is to have dialogue at a social and political level in the region. Combined expertise and voluntary commitment will drive e-sports forward in Bavaria. We wish the constituted association maximum success and look forward to working together."
The board of the EVB is made up as follows - President: Sandra Bloy - First Vice President: Florian von Keller
- Vice President for Organisation: Leon Janßen
- Vice President for Finance: Darius Zähringer-Mertins
