The Global Esports Federation recently unveiled the first-ever South American Esports Championships, in parallel with the 2022 South American Games, in Asunción, Paraguay. This competition will take place from October 2nd to the 3rd.
“The South American Esports Championships is the first esports event of a global scale to be held in South America,” said Camilo Pérez López Moreira, the President of the Organización Deportiva Suramericana (ODESUR). “Alongside the 2022 South American Games, these events amplify Paraguay’s aspiration to more major international events. “The partnership with the Global Esports Federation is taking shape, putting together the necessary capabilities and infrastructure to tap into the limitless potential of esports in the region.”
As a lead-up to the event, the GEF will feature the GEFestival which aims to be a dynamic celebration of esports culture and community esports activations. This will be held at the South American Youth Games in Rosario, Argentina from April 28th to May 8th, 2022.
The staging of the South American Esports Championship and the GEFestival at the South American Youth Games are tangible results of the strategic partnership between the GEF and ODESUR announced in June 2020; supported by the PanAm Esports Development Federation, established by the GEF in 2021.
