This opens up great opportunities for bringing esports, which is increasingly included in the programs of large complex competitions, to a new level and hosting prestigious tournaments in Uzbekistan.

Cooperation with the founder of PUBG MOBILE 0, the Chinese company Tencent, is of particular importance. Within the framework of the project, implemented with the support of the NOC, the company invests 4 million US dollars. These funds will be used for the organization of tournaments, infrastructure development and other purposes related to the development of esports in the country.

The international PUBG MOBILE tournament is taking place at the Renaissance Hall arena of the ZO'R TV channel in Tashkent on April 9-13. It is attended by more than a thousand participants from 15 countries, and the total prize pool will be 500,000 US dollars.

This tournament will be the largest not only in the history of our country, but also in the entire Central Asian region. Representatives of Tencent called Uzbekistan the center of esports in the region, which underlines the high level of trust in our country.

In addition to cash prizes, the winners of the tournament will be awarded cars provided by the sponsors of the event.

On the eve of the tournament, the NOC leadership - First Vice-President Otabek Umarov and General Secretary Oybek Kasimov - heard reports from representatives of the Uzbekistan Esports Association on preparations for the event and gave a number of instructions on organizational issues.

This tournament was an important step in the implementation of the NOC's strategy to strengthen its activities in the field of esports and attract investments in this area.
