The European Esports Federation -EEF- will hold a General Assembly on 16 September in Skopje, North Macedonia, combining an ordinary reporting and financial session with an extraordinary session to fill two vacant positions. The meeting will begin at 10.00 at the Boris Trajkovski Sports Center, also known as the T-Arena, and will be organised in cooperation with the Macedonian Esports Federation.
The extraordinary session will include the election of a new president following the resignation of Adam Krzesiński, as well as a vote to fill one vacant seat on the Board. Both terms will run until the next Electoral General Assembly rather than beginning a full electoral cycle. The meeting was convened through resolutions adopted by the Board and the Executive Committee on 15 July, with the official notice signed by Chester King as acting EEF president.
Five federations must support each presidential candidate
Candidates for president must be nominated by at least five full members, while each candidate for the Board will require the support of three. A federation may support only one candidate in each election, and nominations must be received by 2 August. If no candidate is nominated by that deadline, five delegates may propose a presidential candidate during the Assembly itself; three delegates will be required to nominate someone for the vacant Board seat.
The presidency is not restricted to delegates attending the meeting in Skopje. A person without delegate status may also stand if they have appropriate knowledge of esports and experience in managing a sports organisation. The election will be conducted by secret ballot and the successful candidate will require more than 50% of the votes cast. If no one reaches that majority, the two leading candidates will advance to a second ballot, with a third required in the event of a tie. The candidate receiving the highest number of votes will secure the Board position.
The Assembly will examine the EEF’s activities and 2025 accounts
The ordinary session will include the presentation of the 2025 activity report and financial statements, together with the document prepared by the Audit Committee. Full members will subsequently vote on a resolution to approve those reports. The agenda also provides for general motions and possible amendments to the Statutes.
Each full member will hold one mandate and may be represented by one voting delegate, selected in accordance with its internal rules. On 17 August, the EEF will distribute the final agenda, financial documents, audit report and the Board’s assessment of proposals submitted by the federations.
A second session may take decisions without a minimum quorum
The first session will require the presence of half of the delegates before resolutions can be adopted. If that quorum is not reached at 10.00, the Assembly will reconvene at 11.00 at the same venue. Decisions taken during the second session will be valid regardless of the number of representatives present.
The extraordinary session may only address the two elections for which it has been convened, while the financial reports, accounts and possible statutory motions will remain part of the ordinary session. The notice published by the EEF constitutes the official notification of the date, venue and agenda required under its Statutes.
