Esports in the United Arab Emirates

Esports has grown rapidly in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) since the 2010s, with significant investment and partnerships aimed at positioning the country as a regional hub for competitive gaming in an attempt to diversify the country's economy. The country was admitted to the Global Esports Federation as its 100th member federation in 2021. The UAE's expansion into the esports market has drawn criticism, particularly in relation to its record on LGBTQ rights.
