Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan, President of the Saudi Esports Federation, has been appointed as Vice President of the Global Esports Federation by unanimous decision of the Executive Committee. His appointment comes as a result of his efforts and commitment to growing the esports industry both regionally and globally. Commenting on his appointment, Prince Faisal said, "On this occasion, I would like to thank the Executive Committee for the trust they have put in me as Vice President of the Global Esports Federation and I am committed to exceeding all expectations set by the global esports community." "I believe that this will enable us all to broaden our horizons and to go above and beyond to serve the global world of esports. To me, nurturing the industry has been and will always be a mission, and serving the community is a passion. This only makes me more compelled to do so with great partners and colleagues." Prince Faisal has boasted an impressive track record over the years with his leadership of both the Saudi Esports Federation (SEF) and the Arab Esports Federation (AEF). His vision is to create an impact that generates a ripple effect, evolving sectors and services that were traditionally thought to be unrelated to esports. He moved the SEF from its original model of one-time large events to a sustainable and long-lasting model of creating IPs that will grow with time and provide a stable career path in the many disciplines that surround professional competitive gaming. As a result, today the Saudi Esports Federation is seen as the subject matter expert in gaming and esports that is coordinating government action, guiding investors, and providing gamers with platforms to compete and socialize in Saudi Arabia. The Global Esports Federation is an organization that has been active in bringing esports to the Olympics as well as helping to draft international esports laws. By promoting competitions and community development, the Global Esports Federation promotes the global esports movement and acts as an authentic voice of the movement. The Vice President of the Global Esports Federation, Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan, will continue to serve as the President of the Saudi Esports Federation and the President of the Arab Esports Federation. — SG
