AN ACHIEVEMENT THAT STRENGTHENS THE FUTURE OF ITS INTERNATIONAL ARENA NETWORK

EVA (Esports Virtual Arenas) has been recognized with the “Best Product Innovation in Esports” award during Global Esports Industry Week, one of the most important gatherings in the global esports industry, where organizations, teams, brands, investors, and industry leaders come together to shape the future of competition and entertainment.

The recognition was awarded by The Esports Radar through the Esports Leaders Honours, created to highlight projects and organizations making a real impact on the evolution of the industry.

The award recognizes EVA’s unique proposition: transforming traditional esports by combining video games with real physical movement through free-roaming VR experiences across more than 80 locations in over 10 countries.

Additionally, this year, the company strengthened its competitive vision with the launch of EVA Pro League, alongside some of the most recognized teams within the esports ecosystem.

But behind this recognition is a story that started long before international stages and industry awards.

Back in 2019, EVA was simply an idea taking shape inside a run-down warehouse, where its founding team — Stéphanie Belle, William Klein, and Jean Mariotte — created and tested for the first time an experience unlike anything else available on the market.

What initially seemed like a bold and risky bet eventually became a vision: creating an entirely new category within competitive entertainment.

Today, that vision connects thousands of players through an international network of arenas and its own competitive ecosystem.

This award also represents recognition of the work led by Yassine Jaada and the entire EVA esports team, who have been part of the journey from the very beginning and helped build the competitive ecosystem that exists today.

Beyond prestige, the impact of this recognition carries a particularly important meaning for the entire franchise network. Being recognized in an environment that brings together some of the industry’s most influential players serves as international validation of the EVA model and increases its visibility among brands, partners, media outlets, professional teams, and investors.

Events such as Global Esports Industry Week were created precisely to encourage strategic partnerships and accelerate sustainable growth across the industry.

For EVA arenas around the world, this translates into something very tangible: stronger credibility, greater commercial opportunities, and a stronger position for future growth.

Because when innovation is recognized on a global stage, the benefits do not remain with a single brand — they extend across the entire ecosystem behind it.
