Online Gaming always had its share of fans but due to the pandemic, it has become even more popular as a recreational activity for the youth around the world. 

People are only now realizing its cognitive benefits including but not restricted to:

  • Improvements in basic visual processes
  • Improvements in attention and vigilance
  • Improved ability to track moving objects in a field of distractors
  • Overcoming dyslexia
  • Improvement in executive functioning
  • Improved ability to engage in multiple tasks simultaneously
  • Increased mental flexibility
  • Improvements in job-related skills
  • Improve job performance, especially for jobs that require good eye-hand coordination, attention, excellent working memory, and quick decision-making

Keeping this in mind, the Ismaili eSports segment, which is a Global Encounters program (under the umbrella of the Jubilee Games) will comprise a multitude of activities that build on each other and culminate in a competitive tournament. The tournament serves as a means to an end and not an end in itself. The first eSport selected for this segment is “The Ismaili eFootball Cup.”

The Ismaili eFootball Cup will use the renowned game FIFA 20, which is officially endorsed by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association. Created by EA Sports, it allows for players to virtually play soccer/football from the comfort of their home. The game can be played online using the internet to connect with fellow players across the world!
