On the Sidelines of the Commonwealth Games, the National Sports Authority (NSA) of Sierra Leone, led by Executive Director Mohamed Alphaka Conteh, and his team, participated in a British e-sports Breakfast Roundtable Discussion in Glasgow, Scotland.
The purpose of the engagement was to explore opportunities to establish and support e-sports in Sierra Leone and across Commonwealth Nations and Territories.
Facilitated by the British e-sports Federation Chairman Andy Payne and team, the discussion encouraged the NSA delegation to: Develop national policy frameworks for e-sports, build credibility and safeguarding standards, create pathways for young people in Sierra Leone, establish infrastructure and facilities, and build a future where Sierra Leonean athletes and teams can compete, be recognised and celebrated alongside the best in e-sports.
As part of the engagement, British e-sports extended an invitation to the NSA to attend future training programs in the United Kingdom before the end of this year.
According to the NSA, participation reflects the Government’s commitment, through President Julius Maada Bio, to diversify sports development and create new opportunities for Sierra Leonean youth in the digital space.
The engagement with British e-sports is one of several strategic meetings the NSA is undertaking across the United Kingdom alongside the Commonwealth Games.
