The announcement marked a powerful step forward for inclusivity and innovation in the esports industry.
With a mission to elevate female talent in competitive gaming, this joint initiative plans to create a high-impact platform where women in esports can thrive, as players, strategists, content creators, and industry leaders. By spotlighting female representation and driving innovation in women’s tournaments, the championship sets the stage for a new generation of gamers and redefine the boundaries of what’s possible in the esports ecosystem.

This dynamic discussion explored the realities and opportunities for women in esports, addressing everything from dismantling gender stereotypes to creating inclusive career pathways and how community, education, and global collaboration can accelerate progress.
Beyond the panel, the conference fostered deep engagement through Q&A sessions and interactive media opportunities that allowed attendees to interact with prominent female gamers and thought leaders in the esports space.
Mr. Hamad Qassem, Head of Events and Competitions at the Emirates Esports Federation, expressed his enthusiasm, stating: “The official launch of the Emirates Women’s Esports Championship marks a significant milestone in our journey to build a more inclusive and progressive esports ecosystem in the UAE.
