 HCM CITY — The Việt Nam Recreational and Electronic Sports Association (VIRESA) and FPT Corporation have signed a cooperation agreement, aiming to develop electronic sports, recreational sports as well as phygital sports in Việt Nam.

The two sides will share four main activities in organising tournaments and events, and supporting the national teams' activities and training programmes.

According to Nguyễn Xuân Cường, President of VIRESA, this cooperation agreement played strategic significance for both two sides which expected to bring Vietnamese esports to a new level, increase the professional, methodical, and sustainable esports environment, and create favourable conditions for esports to strongly position in the world map.

“Along with the development of society, esports has become an indispensable activity for the majority of young people. Therefore, creating a modern and ideal esports, recreational sports as well as phygital sports ecosystem is necessary," Cường said.

"This will also be the foundation for these sports to accomplish more achievements in the future. That is not only the industry's goal but also our dedication and responsibility to society."

CEO of FPT Corporation Nguyễn Văn Khoa said FPT Corporation would use all its resources and member companies in efforts to join VIRESA in pushing esports upward.

"Only when we have events that are widely known and extensive enough can we find many excellent athletes representing Việt Nam in the international tournaments," Khoa said.

In addition to the agreements, FPT Corporation also committed to support all activities related to Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, a multiplayer online battle arena game on mobile devices in Việt Nam. Accordingly, FPT would coordinate with VIRESA to promote and organise domestic and international tournaments as well as accompany the national team for further activities.
