Nawaf Al-Shammari, CEO of Rafha Esports Club, revealed details of a new project set to be the largest of its kind in Rafha Governorate. The project involves establishing an integrated headquarters aimed at supporting the gaming community and developing the esports sector in the region.
Al-Shammari explained that the project currently underway will not be just a conventional building, but rather a comprehensive destination bringing together gamers, content creators, and gaming enthusiasts under one roof, within a professional environment equipped with the latest technologies. This comes as part of the club’s efforts to strengthen the region’s presence on the esports map in Saudi Arabia.
The headquarters will include several key facilities, most notably an official administrative office to manage activities, and a dedicated hall for hosting in-person tournaments, in addition to spaces designed for training, gaming, and community interaction. The project will also feature professional training areas for teams, as well as studios dedicated to broadcasting and content creation.
The project spans a large area, with the second floor alone covering approximately 900 meters, reflecting the scale of ambition to create a facility capable of hosting major events and tournaments in this growing sector.
Al-Shammari emphasized that the project’s goal is not limited to serving the club alone, but extends to supporting Saudi talent in general, with a particular focus on discovering and developing talents in the Northern Region and empowering them to reach professional levels.
He added that the club aspires for the new headquarters to become a hub for hosting official tournaments and events in the future, with the potential to collaborate with the Saudi Esports Federation, contributing to the growth of the sector and empowering players.
The club also welcomed opportunities for partnerships and sponsorships with interested entities and companies, as part of its efforts to build a sustainable professional esports ecosystem in the Kingdom.
