The Korea e-Sports Association (KeSPA) officially announced on Thursday the 13rd that it will hold a send-off ceremony for the South Korean national esports team competing in the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Tuesday the 25th at the Sangam Cube Convention Center in Mapo, Seoul.

The event is designed to mark the start of formal tournament preparations and solidify the team's resolve. All 41 athletes and coaches representing the nine medal events—Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, The King of Fighters XV, Pokémon UNITE, Honor of Kings, League of Legends, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Mobile, Identity V, Gran Turismo 7, eFootball series, and Puyo Puyo Champions—will be in attendance.

The program will begin with introductions of the athletes and coaches for each event, followed by a report from the association detailing the selection process, operational progress, and local support plans, concluding with media interviews. Notably, the report will unveil the national team's official slogan, 'SEE the UNSEEN,' explain the significance of the 'National Team for All of Us' initiative, and outline the rigorous preparation process ahead.

An offline event for fans is also planned. Approximately 150 fans will be invited to the venue through a raffle held via the official national esports team social media accounts. Additionally, lucky draw events hosted by various official partners will take place on-site; details on how to participate can be found on the team's official social media channels.

For fans unable to attend in person, the ceremony will be broadcast exclusively on Disney+, providing a live look at the team's determination. Following the 2026 LoL KeSPA CUP, the association plans to showcase major events on Disney+, including this send-off ceremony and the League of Legends national team exhibition matches scheduled for September. The 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games esports team is preparing for the tournament with the full support of various official partners, including Google Play, Hanwha Life, POSCO, SIDIZ, Logitech G, GOALSTUDIO, Goldendew, Jeju Samdasoo, Busan Metropolitan City, Mookgrup, Levion, Wearwear, and Shinyoung Bus Line.
