The British Esports Association has responded to backlash following the announcement of its partnership with the Saudi Esports Federation earlier this week.
In a statement shared on social media, the UK's national body for esports said it was aware the announcement "raised questions and concerns within our community" and wanted to "address these openly and honestly."
The BEA shared its "belief that every individual, regardless of their gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation, should be able to participate and thrive in the esports industry," adding that "this has not changed and will not change."
