The next International Esports Federation (IESF) Ordinary General Meeting (OGM), which will feature a Presidential election, is due to take place on December 21.

The OGM is set be held remotely, given the coronavirus pandemic.

The current IESF Board members are serving terms from 2019 until 2022, however a Presidential election is due as the current IESF President, American Vlad Marinescu, took over from Colin Webster in May.

Webster decided to stand down because the coronavirus pandemic made it difficult for him to carry out his duties from South Africa, meaning vice-president Marinescu was elevated to the leading job until the OGM.

It is expected that Marinescu will stand for President.

The winner of the Presidential election will serve the remainder of the existing term, so until 2022, as Webster was elected in December 2019 at the last IESF OGM.

Founded in 2008, the IESF is the oldest governing body claiming to have responsibility for esports.

It now boasts 88 members.
