IOC Announces Olympic Esports Games To Be Hosted In The Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia
IOC Member Princess Reema Bandar: The International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Friday announced that it has partnered with the National Olympic Committee (NOC) of Saudi Arabia to host the inaugural Olympic Esports Games 2025 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This groundbreaking step follows the IOC’s recent announcement that the IOC Executive Board (EB) has established the Olympic Esports Games. The proposal will be made to the IOC Session, which will be held on the eve of the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
The duration of the partnership between the IOC and the Saudi NOC will be 12 years, with Olympic Esports Games held regularly.
“We are very fortunate to be able to work with the Saudi NOC on the Olympic Esports Games, because it has great -– if not unique -– expertise in the field of esports with all its stakeholders. The Olympic Esports Games will greatly benefit from this experience,” said IOC President Thomas Bach.
