How the Middle East’s First Female Esports Team Came to Be
GIRLGAMER is an international esports festival dedicated to celebrating women in competitive gaming. The festival launched in 2017, and has since hosted League of Legends and Counter Strike: Global Offensive competitions all over the world in South Korea, Spain, Australia, Singapore and, in 2020, Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. As the hosting country, the United Arab Emirates was entitled to enter a team, but didn’t have any female esports teams of their own; in fact, there had never been a female esports team from any country in the Middle East up to this point.
