PES Society is an eSports organisation founded in 2013, competing and promoting the Pro Evolution Soccer series. The organisation, as of January 2020, announced its affiliation to Mind Sports South Africa, who is nationally recognised as the controlling body for eSports.
History
PES Society was constituted in 2013, however, it was not until November 2019 that the PES Society formed with a committee formally announced. When the organisation started, the goal was just to host Pro Evolution Soccer tournaments due to a lack of them in and around Cape Town, with the aim of showing players that there was a platform for Pro Evolution Soccer players to compete on. The goal was to do more within – and outside – the gaming community, to show the positive impact gaming was making within communities. As of January 2020, PES Society formed its office bearers and announced its very own constitution as part of its application to affiliate with Mind Sports South Africa.[1]
