The International Esports Federation (IeSF) has announced the game titles for the 2020 World Championship in Eilat in Israel. 

Fighting title Tekken 7, battle arena game DOTA and eFootball Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) 2020 have all been selected for the event.

These are the same three games which were played at the 2019 IeSF World Championship in Seoul.

A logo for the Championship has also been revealed while the dates of between November 15 and 20 have been confirmed.

"It would be an honour to have the defending world champions for eFootball PES series, Tekken 7 and DOTA 2 attend IeSF's 12th World Championships," said IeSF President, Colin Webster, according to Animation Xpress.

"IeSF's 12th World Championships to be held in Eilat in November 2020 promises to be the most well-produced World Championships ever. 

"Without doubt, such World Championships is the jewel in the crown.

"Special thanks must be extended to the publishers of the titles for the use of such titles. 

"Without the continued support of the publishers, esports would not be the most vibrant sport in the world."

The IeSF World Championship is the only esports event to feature national sides.

Around 60 countries are expected to compete in Eilat, which would make it the largest Championship ever held.

Esports is becoming an increasingly regular topic in sporting circles, with the potential for Olympic inclusion one day a subject for debate.

Technology giant Intel, a member of the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) top-tier sponsorship programme, hosted an esports tournament before the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics and another event will be held before Tokyo 2020. 

There are talks for esports to appear at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago while they were showcased at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang.

International Cycling Union President David Lappartient is the head of an IOC liasion group looking into esports. 

There are problems with governance, however, as a rival body to the Seoul-based IeSF, the recently launched Global Esports Foundation, also exists.

Another issue is that not every country has a national federation.
