Asian youth games

The Asian Youth Games: The Esports Federation of India (ESFI) expressed confidence that the Olympic Council of Asia’s decision to include Esports as a medal discipline in the 3rd Asian Youth Games to be held in Bahrain from Oct 22-31, 2025 would become a catalyst for the growth of competitive gaming across the country and unearth quality next generation gamers.

This will be the first time that Esports will be included in the Asian Youth Games and the Esports athletes will get to rub shoulders with young stars from 20 other sports disciplines across 45 member countries within the age group of 14-17 years.

Lokesh Suji, Director of ESFI and Vice President of the Asian Esports Federation (AESF) was understandably elated with the announcement and exuded confidence that this could provide a major flip to the grassroots esports development in the country.
