Airtel Allies with A1 Esports to Boost Bangladesh’s Mobile Gaming Scene

The esports landscape in Bangladesh is expanding rapidly, with mobile gaming competitions gaining increasing popularity among young people. In a move to strengthen engagement with the mobile gaming and esports community, Airtel— the youth-focused brand of stock market–listed mobile operator Robi Axiata—has announced a partnership with PUBG Mobile gaming team A1 Esports.

Under the partnership, A1 Esports will officially represent Airtel across various tournaments, live streams, and digital content. Wherever the team competes, both at home and abroad, it will serve as Airtel’s gaming brand ambassador.

Robi Axiata disclosed the information in a press release issued on Thursday, January 22.

Commenting on the partnership, A1 Esports team leader Md Abdul Jabbar Shakil said, “This partnership with Airtel is significant for us. Airtel has long been encouraging gaming and esports in Bangladesh. This collaboration will help us represent the country at the international level.”

Notably, A1 Esports is one of the most successful PUBG Mobile teams in Bangladesh. The team made history as the first Bangladeshi squad to compete in the PUBG Mobile Global Championship. It has won the PUBG Mobile National Championship title three times and was also crowned champion in the first season of the Airtel Gaming Arena.
