The 2024 edition of the Esports World Cup was a landmark event, distributing tens of millions of dollars in prizes. Some of the most prominent competitors in the esports community showcased their skills in Riyadh, and despite initial worries about the event’s location, it achieved robust global viewership.
I had the opportunity to speak with Ralf Reichert, the CEO of the Esports World Cup Foundation, as the inaugural EWC event concluded:
I can’t provide specific details just yet on what to anticipate for future events, but one thing is certain: we are dedicated to crafting a unique celebration of competitive excellence and gaming culture for our worldwide audience. We’ve established a new benchmark, and it’s our duty to elevate it in the future.
This initiative aligns with Vision 2030 and reflects Saudi Arabia’s forward-thinking approach, which offers an ideal environment for the Esports World Cup. There is profound planning behind this that makes me very optimistic about the trajectory of gaming and esports in Saudi Arabia and the broader MENA region.
