The eSports Observer: “More than three months after the German Federal Election, a new government has not yet been formed. After long negotiations, Angela Merkel’s CDU and Martin Schulz’s SPD are closing on a coalition, and one of the subjects on which they agreed was the recognition of esports as sports.”

“The negotiations between the two party leaderships are expected to end today and if they are successful and approved by SPD’s members, the new government will support local clubs and esports’ effort to become an Olympic sport.”
