The electronic gaming industry has come a long way since its inception, and currently, it’s one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. Qatar is expanding its journey into the exciting eSports entertainment field. In an effort to attract avid video game players, Aspire Zone Foundation (AZF) in partnership with Wega, a leading global payment solution developed by Truxtun Capital will host eSports Global Games.
During a press conference on 8 January 2020, Mr. Mohammed Mubarak Alkuwari, Chief of Marketing at AZF, said: “On this occasion, I would like to emphasise that collaborating with Truxton Capital in this championship underpins our approach at Aspire Zone Foundation as we seek to expand the scope of our business in the field of sports entertainment “sportainment”, especially after achieving a great success in the world of professional sports, talent development, sports science and technology, and sports medicine.
Alkuwari added: “We always look for new concepts and innovative events, and we hope that this tournament will be an additional platform through which we highlight Qatar's capabilities in organising international events, especially that the Egames industry is currently one of the most promising industries that achieve an annual growth of up to 40 %, attracting many groups, and formal federations for the Egames are being established in many countries now.”
