The International Olympic Committee has announced that the first ever Olympic Esports Games will be held in 2025. They will be held in Saudi Arabia, with which the IOC has been cooperating for 12 years, according to the website of the sports organization.
It is noted that the IOC began to take an interest in esports disciplines in 2018, and in 2023, the Olympic Esports Week was held in Singapore. Based on the results of the event, which was considered successful, it was proposed to create the Olympic Games in esports.
The IOC is full of enthusiasm for the new direction. It is not yet specified which video games will be used for the competition.
Not all the audience met the IOC initiative with optimism. Critics consider it wrong to take a step that puts regular sports and esports on the same level. On the other hand, it is believed that such an initiative will bring additional money to the esports industry.
