Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan, Chairman of the Saudi Esports Federation, said the Esports World Cup’s Paris edition marked further international growth and expansion, describing its reach to audiences outside Saudi Arabia as an important milestone in the tournament’s development. “We are proud of what the Esports World Cup achieved in Paris, particularly in terms of its international growth and expansion,” Prince Faisal said. “The tournament’s ability to reach a global audience outside the Kingdom is an important milestone in its journey and a sign of the growing recognition of esports as a global sector capable of bringing together communities, cultures and audiences from around the world”. He added: “The attendance of Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman, alongside French President Emmanuel Macron, is clear evidence of the growing interest in esports and of the sector’s development and standing. I congratulate all the players, clubs, publishers, partners and organizers who contributed to the success of this edition. Paris has marked an important chapter in the tournament’s journey and laid a strong foundation on which to build in the years ahead.” Eddie Chen, chief operating officer of All Gamers Global, said his team’s club championship was the result of a project that began with the club’s global expansion in 2024, coinciding with the launch of the Esports World Cup. “When we began expanding the club’s global presence in 2024, the same year the Esports World Cup was launched, our goal was to build a club capable of succeeding across different games, regions and cultures,” Chen said. “This title demonstrates how far that vision has progressed.” “Our journey in Paris reflected the strength of the entire organization... This trophy is the product of the efforts of every player, coach and member of the club who contributed with dedication to getting us here”, he added. All Gamers Global won the Club Championship at the 2026 Esports World Cup with 5,300 points, beating second-placed Falcons (4,600) and Vitality (3,300).
