The Vietnam E-sports and Entertainment Association (VIRESA) has joined hands with two large units to professionalize Vietnam's e-sports in the future.

Accordingly, VireSA and FPT Online and Funtap have signed a cooperation agreement to develop high-performance sports as well as professionalize Vietnamese e-sports in general and e-sports in particular, including Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB).

With this step, the three units agreed to coordinate regularly and long-term in strategic consulting activities, building and developing the e-sports and entertainment community in Vietnam to promote the comprehensive and systematic development of the domestic e-sports sector.

The parties will also work together to search for and cooperate with capable and reputable units in the field of video games and e-sports to bring games with international e-sports elements to Vietnam to develop common work as well as introduce, promote, and develop business of suitable products, services, and content but not limited to workshop organization activities, organization, sponsorship of e-sports tournaments, etc., and combine resources to develop playgrounds and competition platforms to support the operation of e-sports in Vietnam.

In particular, for the MLBB sport alone, the three sides will prepare the best conditions to support national teams in the training and competition process at regional and international tournaments such as the SEA Games, ASIAD and Asian Esports Games (AEG).

The cooperation agreement also aims to bring the largest international e-sports tournaments to Vietnam. This is an opportunity for Vietnam to become a leading center for organizing regional e-sports events, helping to enhance the country's position on the global e-sports map.
