Esports for Schools in the UAE

Building 21st-century skills across the Emirates

DAIGON partners with international and independent schools across the UAE to deliver structured School Esports and competitions โ€” no prior experience needed for students or teachers.

Local context

Why DAIGON for UAE schools

  • The UAE is home to over 600 international schools spanning British, American, IB, Indian, and other curricula โ€” one of the densest international school markets in the world.
  • DAIGON's BSME (British Schools of the Middle East) partnership provides an exclusive competition pathway for British-curriculum schools throughout the UAE.
  • Dubai's KHDA and Abu Dhabi's DoE both emphasise 21st-century skills and extracurricular development โ€” DAIGON's badge system directly supports these goals.
  • Esports is the fastest-growing after-school programme category in UAE international schools, with strong demand from both students and parents.
