Qatar will host the first Metaverse Fifa gaming tournament in Qatar to give fans the experience of seeing the game’s top players. According to the organizers, the gaming tournament will allow fans to see the top players competing in the tournament.
Furthermore, the new football competition will be held at the Aspire Ladies Sports Center in Doha with 16 players. Of the 16 players, 12 are part of the top EA FIFA 22 participants, while 4 are from the Middle East region.
However, the four players from the Middle East region qualified through the online process and will have the chance to experience a tournament alongside professionals.
A Win for Sports Innovation?
The competition was organized by Ooredoo Nation, an Esport platform, and Gamers Land. The winner will go home with $25,000, while the first runner-up will be compensated with $15,000. On the other hand, both the second runner-up and the fourth-best will get $5,000.
Ooredoo Chief Commercial Officer, Hamad bin Nasser Al Thani, commended the tournament. He added that the company is proud of its venture into the Web3 ecosystem. Al Thani further noted that the move aligns with Ooredoo’s commitment to investing in innovative ideas.
In this case, the Metaverse concept is adopted for viewers to have multiple ways of interacting with others throughout the game.
Additionally, the organizers will offer viewers free NFTs that can be redeemed for merchandise and the chance to meet players. Viewers can choose to hold the non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as investments during the tournament.
Moreover, fans who hope to experience the tournament can visit the competition’s website or choose to watch the game on YouTube.
Export Industry Focus is on the Metaverse
The world of Sport is warming up to the virtual world as the Metaverse continues to attract more people.
In the early days of the month, the Global Esport Federation created a Metaverse committee to drive Metaverse development. This is to produce exceptional Metaverse initiatives for the global Esport community.
The newly created Metaverse council consists of blockchain experts, NFT creators, and social media influencers. The Council is aimed at developing ideas to shape the Esport Metaverse experience.
Commenting further on why Esport is making the Metaverse its priority, the Council’s chair, Hugo Philion, stated that it represents an opportunity. Esport wants to take gaming to the virtual space, and the Metaverse is the final destination for the company to enter.
The move will bring added marketability to the company, according to Philion.
Additionally, Philion noted that Esport is on an ambitious move, and the company has endless growth opportunities. According to the Council’s chair, the application of Blockchain technology will undoubtedly accelerate the company’s growth.
The emergence of the Metaverse came at a time when most of the world was going virtual. Every major activity is now shifted in part to the virtual ecosystem.
The hosting of the first FIFA tournament in the Metaverse will usher in another positive development in the gaming industry.
