Doha, Qatar: Virtuocity, Qatar’s largest purpose-built esports arena located in Doha Festival City, has marked a significant milestone with one of the most notable prize moments ever seen at the venue. One lucky guest, Mr Weam Mersel Daaibess from Lebanon, has driven away in a brand-new Tesla, turning a regular visit into an unforgettable celebration.

The winning moment took place on Qatar National Sports Day, Tuesday, 10 February 2026, when Weam and his family were enjoying an evening at Virtuocity. Surrounded by cheers and excitement, he was presented with the keys to his new Tesla alongside his family, fellow guests, and the Virtuocity team, creating a memorable moment for everyone present.

Since its inception, Virtuocity has continued to enhance the guest experience through a range of high-value rewards and interactive campaigns, attracting visitors from across Qatar and the wider region.

As Qatar continues to advance its national agenda for economic diversification and the development of knowledge-based and experience-driven industries, destinations like Virtuocity play an important role in strengthening the country’s digital entertainment ecosystem while supporting youth engagement, innovation, and social connectivity.

Overjoyed by the win, Mr Daaibess shared, “I came here to have some fun, and I’m leaving with a Tesla. I still can’t believe it. This is something I’ll remember for the rest of my life.”
