The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced the creation of the Olympic Esports Games, which will debut in 2025 in Saudi Arabia. This decision was unanimously endorsed at the 142nd IOC Session in Paris. The IOC has partnered with the Saudi National Olympic Committee for a 12-year agreement to host these games.
It’s an exciting development for the esports community and marks a significant step in integrating digital sports into the Olympic movement.
Cool!
