‘Riyadh remains the hub’: official discusses EWC move to Paris

RIYADH: The recent decision to shift the Esports World Cup from Riyadh to Paris after two successful events in Saudi Arabia’s capital has sparked discussion across the esports industry, with many wondering what the move means for the future of the competition. The move comes amid a year of disruption for several major sporting events in the region. The 2026 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was canceled earlier this year, while AFC Champions League Elite matches were delayed before ultimately returning to Jeddah. The EWC soon followed, announcing Paris as the host city for its third event.
