E-sports International keen on helping Philippines sports grow

MANILA, Philippines —   E-sports International has levelled up the playing field in an effort to help the development and growth of Filipino athletes with the construction of more football fields and sports facilities this year and beyond.

Expanding to the other parts of the archipelago, the country’s leading supplier of quality sports surfaces will have another one in Maasin, Leyte this year and another in early 2025 in Lanao del Norte.

These are the Maasin Football Stadium and the Mindanao Civic Center, with a football field as well, while four to six are in line for next year in E-sports International’s continuing bid to grow the Philippine sports through the construction of world-class facilities.

It has unveiled earlier the construction of the Romblon Football Stadium.

“If we want to have international athletes, we need to have international fields, too,” said Audris Romualdez, managing director of E-Sports International Inc., in a media roundtable yesterday at the Manila Polo Club.

“When we build a field, we have the athletes and owners in mind. That’s our very first goal. We want to have world-class athletes and they will not be born in one day, especially if we don’t give them facilities where they can train. We have committed ourselves to that.”
