Esports for Schools Across the Middle East
Esports across the Gulf and beyond
DAIGON works with schools across the GCC and wider Middle East region — structured clubs, inclusive sessions, and pathways to the School Esports World Championship.
Local context
Why DAIGON for GCC schools
- DAIGON's BSME partnership covers British-curriculum schools across all six GCC states — providing exclusive competition routes for British international schools throughout the region.
- The GCC is one of the fastest-growing international school markets in the world, driven by large expatriate communities and significant government investment in education quality.
- Esports is a natural cultural fit in the Gulf — the region has one of the highest per-capita gaming rates in the world, and school-based esports translates that enthusiasm into structured skill development.
