Pakistan is developing its first-ever E-Sports policy and establishing an E-Sports Federation, recognizing the sector as a fast growing, multibillion dollar global industry.

Chairman Prime Minister's Youth Programme Rana Mashhood Ahmad Khan announced this while addressing a ceremony in Islamabad today.

He said around sixty million Pakistanis are directly or indirectly involved in E-Sports, and the new policy will also support game developers and digital innovators.

Rana Mashhood Ahmad Khan said the government, under the vision and guidance of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, is taking concrete steps to create opportunities for youth across all provinces.
