Together, we will champion the values of integrity, inclusivity and fair play, ensuring that eSports continues to flourish as a dynamic and respected form of competition on the international stage. I look forward to working hand in hand to shape a vibrant and sustainable future for our industry.”

“We could not be more excited about this new chapter for the IESF,” the Secretary General for the IESF, Boban Totovski, said. “With our next edition of the World Esports Championships coming to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in 2024, there is no one better to lead our organization than HRH Prince Faisal. His dedication to eSports is unmatched and we look forward to working together to achieve total unity in the esports ecosystem.”

The IESF will conclude an action-packed year with the World Esports Summit, taking place on November 28 and 29 in Busan, South Korea. HRH Prince Faisal is set to participate in a panel discussion that will take a behind-the-scenes look into hosting the world’s biggest eSports events.
