The Asian Poker Sports Association (APSA) is the premier organization dedicated to promoting poker as a recognized mind sport throughout Asia. Established to create a unified and structured approach to the development of poker in the region, APSA seeks to elevate the game’s standards, ensure fair play, and foster collaboration among national federations, tournament organizers, professional players, and enthusiasts alike.
As a key partner of the World Poker Federation (WPF) and other leading global poker organizations, APSA drives initiatives to grow and strengthen the poker ecosystem in Asia. Its programs focus on organizing high-level tournaments, supporting emerging poker communities, and creating platforms where players can showcase their skills while developing strategic thinking, discipline, and resilience.
Beyond competition, APSA is committed to inclusivity and empowerment, encouraging participation from women and underrepresented groups in poker. Through educational programs, community engagement, and continental-level championships, the Association aims to not only enhance the competitive landscape but also to foster a sense of unity, professionalism, and ethical standards across the Asian poker scene.
With a vision of long-term growth, APSA aspires to position Asia as a global leader in mind sports, demonstrating that poker is not just a game, but a platform for personal development, social connection, and international collaboration.
