Esports, the competitive video gaming phenomenon, is gaining traction as a potential future addition to the Olympic program.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has acknowledged the growing popularity of esports and is exploring its possible inclusion in upcoming Games. Proponents of esports inclusion argue that it attracts a younger demographic and aligns with the Olympics' goal of reflecting the evolving sporting landscape. Opponents, however, express concerns about the physicality aspect of esports and the potential dominance of certain countries with strong gaming infrastructure.
