SEEING the value of cultivating the culture of wellness and active living in the community, E-Sports International is continuously channelling its thrust to such a direction with its hosts of services.
A leading provider of sports and wellness infrastructure, facilities and equipment, Filipino-owned E-Sports has steadily built its reputation and maintained its good standing of delivering solutions for some of the most familiar and prestigious community centers in the country.
E-Sports is in partnership with top-notch solution providers and specializes in flooring solutions for various sporting applications that are made with sustainable materials and accredited by some of the most respected sports organizations in the world.
Among the projects it has worked on in 15 years since being established are McKinley Hill Stadium (football pitch), Biñan Football Stadium (football pitch), Rizal Memorial Coliseum (football pitch).
The football pitches in Biñan and Rizal Memorial have earned FIFA certification, E-Sports proudly underscored.
The most recent of the projects of the company is the New Clark City Sports Complex in Capas, Tarlac, which will be one of the facilities to be used for the 30th Southeast Asian Games kicking off later this week.
E-Sports’ services were tapped by lead developer MTD Philippines to ensure the construction of a cutting-edge competition track, warm-up track, and athletic performance gym that will serve as the training hub of the Filipino athletes.
The New Clark City Athletics Stadium can accommodate 20,000 spectators, features a 400-meter standard track, and a nine-lane world-class track and field facility. It also has an outdoor warm-up area with four 400-meter lanes and an indoor warm-up space with two 100-meter lanes.
It was recently certified “Class 1” by the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF).
The Athletics Stadium warm-up courses are installed with SmarTracks — a digital diagnostics sensory technology — which accurately tracks, monitors, and analyzes the athlete’s performance via magnetic gates integrated within the tracks’ surface.
All gyms in the New Clack City Sports Complex, meanwhile, are equipped with the SKILL LINE range by Technogym, the official fitness equipment supplier of the Olympics since 2000.
E-Sports officials said that they are proud of the work they did at New Clark City and to see the athletes raving about the facilities makes it all the more satisfying for them.
“To have the kind of reaction from the athletes on our work at New Clark City is really satisfying and very rewarding. It is not only about working on a project but in this case we know it is something the country and the Filipino athletes can really use as they try to excel in what they do,” said Audris Romualdez, managing director of E-Sports, in a recent media roundtable.
“We worked really hard to provide tracks and gym facilities at New Clark City that are world-class and meet the highest quality standards. Hopefully our athletes can leverage on what the facilities offer as they go for that gold,” she added.
Ms. Romualdez went on to say that after working on the New Clark City project they have become more determined to keep their mission going, staying on top of their game by partnering with sports and wellness innovators to provide top-notch services.
