The Korea e-Sports Association (KeSPA) officially announced its four selected coaches for the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on the 12th.

The Performance Enhancement Committee evaluated candidates based on their expertise (training plans and coaching ability), track record in domestic and international competitions, and their attitude and values (national sense of duty, morality, etc.) through application reviews and individual interviews. Following this, one coach was recommended for each category, and a total of four coaches were selected after final deliberation by the association's board of directors.

The selected coaches include Kang Seong-hun from SpiritZero for fighting games, Kang Dong-hun for League of Legends, and Yoon Sang-hun from Nongshim RedForce for Battlegrounds Mobile. Additionally, Jung Myung-hun will be in charge of multiple titles, including Gran Turismo 7, the eFootball series, and Puyo Puyo Champions. Kang Seong-hun and Yoon Sang-hun have been reappointed following their service in the previous Hangzhou Asian Games, while Jung Myung-hun, a silver medalist at the 2009 Hanoi Asian Indoor Games, will oversee three specific titles based on his international competition experience.

With the coaching staff finalized, the national esports team will begin the full-scale selection of players according to the roster construction plan for each title set by the Performance Enhancement Committee. The League of Legends and Battlegrounds Mobile teams will be formed through a drafting method. Players for Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, The King of Fighters XV, Honor of Kings, Identity V, Gran Turismo 7, the eFootball series, and Puyo Puyo Champions will be selected through qualifiers.

A total of 37 esports national team players will be selected. Further details regarding the selection process will be available on the official KeSPA website.
