Dubai, UAE — July 2026 — Gamers Era has announced the launch of the ONE NATION CUP, a new regional esports competition designed to bring together more than 1,200 casual and amateur players from across the Middle East and North Africa.
Launching from Dubai, the ONE NATION CUP is a fully online and completely free-to-enter community tournament, giving everyday players the opportunity to compete, represent their country, and take part in a structured regional esports experience with prizes worth up to AED 10,000.
The competition will feature FC 26 in a 1v1 format and Rocket League in a 2v2 format, with players competing across five regional groups: the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain, Oman and Kuwait, and Egypt and Jordan.
Registration will open on July 10 and continue until July 31, 2026. Regional qualifier matches will take place from August 6 to 8, before the tournament concludes with its final stage on August 14 and 15, 2026.
Created by Gamers Era, the ONE NATION CUP is built around a simple idea: giving amateur and casual gamers a larger competitive platform where they can test their skills, represent their country, and connect with gaming communities from across the region—all from the comfort of their own homes.
Unlike traditional esports tournaments focused primarily on professional competitors, the ONE NATION CUP is designed for the wider gaming community. With free registration, a fully online format, more than 1,200 targeted participants, and seven participating countries, the tournament aims to make organized esports competition more accessible to everyday players across the MENA region.
Seven countries. Five regional groups. Two games. Over 1,200 players. One Nation Cup.
