Qatar is hosting the Arab World Electronic Football Championship, a FIFA 21 tournament that began on October 7th organized by QQQ Company for Media and Advertising with Arabic daily Arrayah and Gulf Times as the media sponsors, marking the country’s first-ever esports tournament.
“Since December 2010, all the world is looking and focusing on Qatar especially when hosting sport events; whether football or any other kind of sports, social or intellectual events, so long as the FIFA World Cup is concerned, Qatar is always popping up in headers and world news,” said Khalaf M. Alidmat, General Director of QQQ. “Among young people, electronic football is no less famous than physical football and the term ‘gaming’ is rapidly spreading in the whole world. So the organization and participation in such events can give the chance for several players to find an official frame to enjoy their passion and get rankings and rewards in Qatar and the world.”
With an estimate of about 20 million esports athletes, the Arab world is home to one of the largest bases and audiences in the Metaverse. So it comes as no surprise that over 10,000 players registered to compete in the Arab World Electronic Football Championship.
The tournament is live on Instagram and is being covered by Qatar’s biggest esports influencers and bloggers. The best goals from the competition will also be featured on the Championship’s official Instagram account. 10% of the registration fees collected will be going to support the “educate me” community initiative led by Qatar Charity.
