IOC Proposes Olympic Esports Games to Engage Younger Audiences

The International Olympic Committee will vote on the creation of the Olympic Esports Games during the Paris Olympics next month, aiming to modernize and expand its reach.

The proposal will be voted on at the IOC session during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The Olympic Esports Games will be a separate event from the traditional Olympic Games.
It will include virtual sports, sports simulation games, and traditional video games.
The initiative follows successful IOC-backed esports events, including the Olympic Virtual Series and Olympic Esports Week.
The IOC is in advanced discussions with a potential host for the first edition of the Esports Games.
