Qatar Esports Federation unveils message, vision and objectives

Doha: The Qatar Esports Federation (QESF) announced its message, vision and objectives during a press conference held at Doha Tower, yesterday. 

It was attended by the QESF President Sheikh Abdullah bin Faleh Al Thani, QESF Secretary-General Faisal Abdulrahman Khalid, QESF Assistant Secretary General Khalifa Al Haroon, and QESF Board Members: Sheikha Abeer bint Nooh Al Thani, Sheikh Nasser bin Khalid Al Thani, Moza Al Mohannadi, and Nasser Abdulla Al Hajri.

The QESF President stressed that launching the QESF is a dream come true to develop regulations and plans to promote e-sport in our community.

Sheikh Abdullah also highlighted that the mission of the federation is to develop esports in Qatar, expand the base of community participation and become a leading federation that fosters the growth and development of esports in Qatar. In addition, the QESF signed an MoU with QUEST esports company.

“Today, we have marked another important milestone in the growth of esports in Qatar. Through our partnership with the Qatar Esports Federation, we will be able to grow our local talent pool through additional support and training, as well as increase the frequency of live competitions – both intrinsic pillars of the Qatar National Vision 2030’s plans for supporting the broader sports ecosystem and youth development. Qatar has already made significant moves in becoming the region’s leading esports hub and this collaboration is only set to enhance that,” CEO and founder of QUEST Elie Honain said.

For his part, QESF Secretary General Khalid shed lights on the vision and brand of the federation. The logo concept came to place by bridging the first letter of Qatar in both English and Arabic to symbolise a joystick. 

“The federation aims to establish a culture of esports in Qatar and provide talented athletes with a clear path for professional progression to be able to represent Qatar at international levels,” he said.
