[Saba Sports News] Recently, Saudi Arabia hosted a
global sports conference in which they unveiled their plans to invest tens of
billions of dollars in launching the annual Esports World Cup (Esports World
Cup). The inaugural event is scheduled to take place in Riyadh next summer. A
prominent figure in the Saudi sports industry, Portuguese star Cristiano
Ronaldo, was also in attendance at the conference and participated in the
launch ceremony. He engaged in discussions with The Highness Mohammed bin
Salman, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, about the future prospects of e-sports.
Some observers humorously remarked that Ronaldo had taken on the role of
promoting Saudi Arabia’s sports culture.
