It is reported that the first International Olympic Committee E-sports Olympic Games in history was forced to postpone the holding.

To recall, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced last summer that the Esports Olympics will be held in Saudi Arabia.

It is reported that the game publishers and the International Sports Federation, which submitted their applications for participation last fall (November), expressed dissatisfaction with the progress of the event preparation.

It is reported that the organizers of the Esports Olympics have not yet determined the key elements of the event, including event events, game lists, host cities and athlete qualification review processes.

The report pointed out that the Winter Olympics and Youth Olympics have been arranged in 2026, so the E-sports Olympics are most likely to be held in 2027.

The International Olympic Committee has not issued any official statement on this, but if the news is true, the International Sports Federation may notify the relevant changes in the coming months.

Previous reports said that the International Olympic Committee intends to include truly popular e-sports projects and negotiates on the participation of Rocket League, Street Fighter and League of Legends.
