Riyadh has become the mecca of esports, has hosted the Esports World Cup, will host the 16th IESF World esports Championship in November and is scheduled to host in 2025 the sports Olympiad that is being announced by the IOC.

The esports competitions by country are being very important for the evolution of the sector. It is a more recognizable format for the mainstream public, it generates a sense of belonging and helps to project national talent and makes the communities of games with less commercial impact visible. In Spain, the challenge is that gaming and esports have a unique fit with the public institution. An entertainment with 20 million users needs a direct link and a much more active participation on the part of our institutions, and we have been on this path for four years now with the best travel companions such as Telefónica, UDIT University of design, innovation and technology, Joma and COUGAR gaming. They are the collaborators that are helping us to take the step to the next level.
