CBDEL released a video on its official You Tube channel featuring former player Cafu and eSports athlete Wil 11 explaining the idea of the new program and its goals.
“We want everything to be done with a lot of social responsibility, public engagement, sustainability, a safe regulatory environment and rules that also guarantee the rights and benefits of athletes, whether educational or professional,” says Cafu in the CBDEL video.
The "eSports Ambassadors" initiative is part of the worldwide program "Changing the People, Changing the World", a social program that aims to bring everyone in a sustainable and responsible way to social inclusion and education using eSport and football together as a foundation for involvement, career opportunities and a way to form a better citizen for the world. In Brazil CBDEL is responsible for the operation and coordination of this WESCO program, and also under the sponsorship of PAMESCO.
About ambassadors Cafu and Edmilson, CBDEL highlights their career numbers as athletes with games for the Brazilian Football Team and titles that, combined their two careers, reach a total of 58 national and international achievements, including the penta World Championship of Brazil at the 2002 World Cup.
The organization also underscores the social concern of ambassadors who, after ending their careers, lead charitable foundations focused on education and social transformation and also participate with ambassadors in various other causes around the world.
CBDEL is the governing body of electronic sports (eSports) in Brazil. With the eSports athlete as its main focus, it creates and regulates institutional electronic sports in all its categories. The mission of the Confederation is to make electronic sport the broadest category of sport, practice and social and economic return for athletes and practitioners nationally and internationally.
