HomeInsightsUEFA tenders for esports organisers to establish an esports tournament in connection with its 2020 European Championships

European football’s governing body, UEFA, is looking for proposals from suitably qualified e-sports tournament organisers to create, develop and operate an official e-sports tournament in relation to UEFA EURO 2020.

UEFA says that it is currently thinking that such an E-Sports Tournament would encompass several online qualification events and one physical event.

The selected organiser (if any) would be responsible for all aspects of the E-Sports Tournament including (but not limited to) defining the tournament format and rules, running the online qualification tournaments, organising the physical event and managing all on-site operations, providing a live feed for broadcast of the tournament, and capturing and analysing data. The relevant advertising, marketing, promotion and operation of the E-Sports Tournament would be subject to UEFA’s approval and guidelines.
