Esports is known as the fastest-growing sport in the country and is an officially recognised sport in Sri Lanka by the Ministry of Sports.
Esports athletes from Sri Lanka have represented their country at an international level and are looking to bring home a medal when they compete in Esports at the 19th Asian Games to be held in Hangzhou, China.
