Vlad Marinescu takes over as President of International Esports Federation

Vlad Marinescu has replaced Colin Webster as the President of the International Esports Federation (IESF), the organisation has announced.

Marinescu replaces Webster after the latter stepped down from his role due to “circumstances resulting directly from the COVID-19 crisis, and the ever increasing challenging situation in South Africa related to travel restrictions”.

Upon stepping down, Webster proposed to the board that Marinescu rise from Vice President to President, and that His Highness Sheikh Sultan Bin Khalifa Bin Sultan Al Nahayan should, in turn, replace Marinescu as Vice President.
