نتفيأ ظلال رؤية قديرة مسنودة بفكر ووعي مبدعها الأمير محمد بن سلمان، بكل ما تحمله من طموحات وآمال ومستقبل زاهر بالعطايا، جنينا من طرحها رطباً جنياً تذوقنا حلاوته وعشنا مكامن جماله منذ إشراقها وحتى اليوم، ولولا هذه الرؤية وما قدمته لعشنا في مستنقع الصحوة وفكرها الآسن.
عشنا جودة الحياة، تذوقنا صحوة الجمال في كل منافذ الحياة، حق نستقبل به أيامنا بكل روح العزم، وبكل طاقة الفرح، مدركين أن مواكبة العصر أمر حتمي في عجلة الزمن، بعيداً عن سنوات النكد وخيال الصحوة المريض التي ذهبت بلا رجعة.
نحن أبناء اليوم نعيش في جو بديع ووديع وآمن ومستقر وكأنه همس نبض رقيق لقلب اللحظة التي نعيشها.
على إيقاع الحفلات الموسيقية الصاخبة بقيادة العالمي بوست مالون، ودوي الألعاب النارية وتحليق الدرون ومشاركة مئات الشركات في بوليفار سيتي الرياض، دُشنت منافسات بطولة كأس العالم للرياضات الإلكترونية 2025، بشعار يجسد رسالتها الأساسية، المتمثلة في معاني التحدي والشغف الجماهيري وروح المنافسة والسعي نحو القمة، بحضور الآلاف ومتابعة الملايين من خلف الشاشات.
شغف يمتد لمدة 7 أسابيع بجوائز مالية تقدر بـ70 مليون دولار، هي الأعلى قيمة في تاريخ الرياضات الإلكترونية.
تسمرت أمام الشاشة؛ لأشهد ليلة استثنائية من الموسيقى والترفيه والأجواء النابضة بالحياة على أكبر مسرح للرياضات الإلكترونية عالميّاً وطربت للأغنية الرسمية للبطولة بعنوان «حتى تنزف أصابعي»، مزيج من موسيقى الكي بوب والهيب هوب والروك، لتعكس حماس وأجواء أكبر للحدث.
عبّر رئيس الاتحاد السعودي للرياضات الإليكترونية الأمير فيصل بن بندر بن سلطان عن فرحته وشعوره بالامتنان؛ لكونه جزءاً من هذا الفريق، الذي يقوم بشيء يجلب الفرح لحياة الناس، ويجمعهم معاً.
استضافت البطولة 2,000 رياضي، و200 فريق، وأكثر من 100 لاعب محترف. وزار الموقع أكثر من 2.6 مليون شخص.
شهدت الرياضات الإلكترونية قصة نجاحٍ مميزة منذ تأسيس الاتحاد السعودي لها في عام 2017 لرعاية وتنمية مجتمع الألعاب الإلكترونية في المملكة، وخلق بيئة تساعد في تطوير نخبة الرياضيين السعوديين، للمنافسة في البطولات العالمية.
وتأكد دور السعودية الريادي والحيوي في هذا القطاع الرياضي في النسخة الافتتاحية عام 2024 بالرياض.
قال وزير الرياضة الأمير عبدالعزيز الفيصل إن إعلان استضافة المملكة هذا الحدث العالمي هو امتداد وتجسيد للدعم غير المسبوق الذي تحظى به الرياضة من قِبل قيادة الوطن، والدعم والمتابعة المستمرين من قبل الأمير محمد بن سلمان، الذي مكّننا من المضي قدماً في الاستمرار في استضافة مثل هذه الأحداث الدولية الكبرى، وأن المملكة باتت موطناً للرياضات يشهده العالم أجمع.
هذه الاستضافة وما فيها من فعاليات وأحداث وإثارة تثبت للعالم أننا نحلم ونحقق وتؤكد مكانة المملكة وثقلها العالمي المسطر في كراسة الأيام، وأنها لقادرة على استضافة أكبر الأحداث الكروية وغيرها من أحداث العالم، فهي الملاذ الأمن والجدار المتين.
فلتهنأ ساحة أرينا في قلب بوليفارد رياض سيتي وروادها بصخب منافسات بطولة كأس العالم للرياضات الإلكترونية 2025 واحداثها.
قال الرئيس التنفيذي للعمليات في مؤسسة كأس العالم للرياضات الإلكترونية مايك ماكيب إنها تمثل احتفالاً عالميّاً بروح المجتمع، حيث يلتقي الإبداع والثقافة والألعاب على أكبر منصة في العالم، وأضفت الموسيقى الرسمية للبطولة في تناغمها مع حفل الافتتاح بعداً خاصّاً لهوية الحدث، معبّرةً عن روح الشغف والأجواء الحماسية التي تجمع بين الموسيقى والرياضات الإلكترونية، ما يمهد لصيف حافل لا يُنسى.
على شطّ بحر الرؤية المتلاطم بخوارق المدهشات أقف عاجزاً عن تحرير لفظ واصف، وتحرير معنًى يقارب، وتسطير حروف تفي.
فلا يسعفني من ذلك إلا انعقاد اللّسان دهشة، واستحسان الصمت تعبيراً، وتأمّل صنيع ولي العهد الأمين، الذي قَلَب الموازين، وغيّر المفاهيم، وحرّك الساكن، وأعاد ترتيب حياتنا وفق «رؤية» راسخة كـ«طويق»، ومستشرفة بهمة لا ترضى إلا بالقمّة.
نجيب يماني
فلتهنأ ساحة أرينا في قلب بوليفارد الرياض..

We find ourselves basking in the shadows of a powerful vision supported by the thought and awareness of its creator, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, with all the ambitions, hopes, and a bright future filled with gifts it carries. We have harvested from its proposal a ripe fruit whose sweetness we have tasted and whose beauty we have experienced since its dawn until today. Were it not for this vision and what it has provided, we would have lived in the swamp of the Awakening and its stagnant thought.
We have experienced quality of life, tasted the awakening of beauty in every aspect of life, a right with which we welcome our days with all the spirit of determination and all the energy of joy, realizing that keeping pace with the times is an inevitable matter in the wheel of time, far from the years of misery and the sick imagination of the Awakening that has gone without return.
We, the children of today, live in a beautiful, gentle, safe, and stable atmosphere, as if it were the whisper of a delicate pulse to the heart of the moment we are living.
To the rhythm of the loud musical concerts led by the global Post Malone, the sound of fireworks, the flying drones, and the participation of hundreds of companies in Boulevard City, Riyadh, the competitions of the 2025 World Cup for Electronic Sports were launched, with a slogan that embodies its core message, represented in the meanings of challenge, public passion, competitive spirit, and the pursuit of excellence, attended by thousands and followed by millions behind screens.
A passion that extends for 7 weeks with cash prizes estimated at $70 million, the highest value in the history of electronic sports.
I was glued to the screen to witness an exceptional night of music, entertainment, and vibrant atmosphere on the largest electronic sports stage globally, and I was thrilled by the official song of the tournament titled "Until My Fingers Bleed," a blend of K-pop, hip-hop, and rock music, reflecting the enthusiasm and atmosphere of the grand event.
The President of the Saudi Electronic Sports Federation, Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan, expressed his joy and gratitude for being part of this team, which does something that brings joy to people's lives and brings them together.
The tournament hosted 2,000 athletes, 200 teams, and more than 100 professional players. The site was visited by more than 2.6 million people.
Electronic sports have witnessed a remarkable success story since the establishment of the Saudi Federation for them in 2017 to nurture and develop the electronic gaming community in the Kingdom, creating an environment that helps in developing elite Saudi athletes to compete in global championships.
Saudi Arabia's pioneering and vital role in this sports sector was confirmed in the inaugural edition in 2024 in Riyadh.
Minister of Sports Prince Abdulaziz bin Faisal stated that the announcement of the Kingdom hosting this global event is an extension and embodiment of the unprecedented support that sports receive from the leadership of the nation, and the continuous support and follow-up from Prince Mohammed bin Salman, which has enabled us to move forward in continuing to host such major international events, and that the Kingdom has become a home for sports witnessed by the whole world.
This hosting, along with its events and excitement, proves to the world that we dream and achieve, and confirms the Kingdom's position and global weight inscribed in the book of days, and that it is capable of hosting the largest football events and other events in the world, as it is a safe haven and a solid wall.
Let the Arena in the heart of Boulevard Riyadh City rejoice in the noise of the competitions of the 2025 World Cup for Electronic Sports and its events.
The Chief Operating Officer of the Electronic Sports World Cup Foundation, Mike McKee, stated that it represents a global celebration of community spirit, where creativity, culture, and gaming meet on the largest platform in the world, and the official music of the tournament added a special dimension to the identity of the event, expressing the spirit of passion and the enthusiastic atmosphere that combines music and electronic sports, paving the way for an unforgettable summer.
On the shore of the vision, tumultuous with the wonders of the amazing, I stand unable to free a descriptive word, to liberate a meaning that approaches, and to inscribe letters that suffice.
For nothing assists me in that except the astonishment of a tongue tied, the appreciation of silence as expression, and the contemplation of the actions of the loyal Crown Prince, who has turned the scales, changed concepts, stirred the stagnant, and rearranged our lives according to a "vision" as solid as "Tuwaiq," and aspiring with a determination that accepts nothing but the summit.
