We support esports talents in Germany
We are witnesses of a new sport rising – a sport of a new generation with their own heroes and legends.

Who we are
A strong alliance between the entire games industry, sports, politics and society
The not for profit institution is led by Jörg Adami, who served 10 years in the management board of “Deutsche Sporthilfe“ – one of the globally most recognized talent development institutions in Olympic sports. The esports player foundation is supported by the association of the German games industry, among others representing the most important game publishers. Furthermore, esports tournament and league organizers and other stakeholders from politics and traditional sports endorse the esports player foundation’s case. All of them unite in seeing the passion and engagement of millions of gamers in esports as a chance for our society.
