Kuwait will host the inaugural Asian Esports and Mind Sports Games in 2027. The Olympic Council of Asia says it has signed the host-city contract, establishing a new continental event for esports and mind sports.
The OCA announcement says the event is intended to create more opportunities for athletes across Asia. It also says the Games’ programme will be announced later.
What is confirmed
- Host: Kuwait.
- Edition: the first Asian Esports and Mind Sports Games.
- Year: 2027. Exact event dates, venues and the final games programme are not specified in the announcement.
