The highly anticipated event is set to unite a talented community of gamers and eSports enthusiasts from across the United Arab Emirates, in a bid to foster youth talent and deepen their engagement in the digital and media sectors.
The championship will showcase three primary competitions featuring some of the region’s most beloved video games. Participants can look forward to a team FIFA 25 tournament—where pairs join forces—with a substantial prize pool of AED40,000.
