首届电竞奥运会“踩刹车”，国际奥委会和沙特电竞基金会合作终止

IT之家 10 月 30 日消息，国际奥委会发布关于奥运会电子竞技比赛的声明，终止和沙特电竞基金会合作，双方将各自独立推进电竞领域的发展计划，并探索全新的奥运赛制发展方案，但未明确提出首届电竞奥运会举办时间。声明原文及翻译如下：

The initiative of the Olympic Esports Games has created a great deal of excitement amongst all stakeholders of the Olympic Movement and in the esports community, who are all looking forward to the first edition. In the last year, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Saudi Olympic and Paralympic Committee (SOPC) have discussed the concept of the Olympic Esports Games at length in line with the partnership they announced in 2024. Recently, the two parties and the Esports World Cup Foundation sat down again and reviewed this initiative. They mutually agreed that they will end their cooperation on the Olympic Esports Games. At the same time, both parties are committed to pursuing their own esports ambitions on separate paths. The IOC, for its part, will develop a new approach to the Olympic Esports Games, taking the feedback from the “Pause and Reflect” process into account, and pursue a new partnership model. This approach will be a chance to better fit the Olympic Esports Games to the long-term ambitions of the Olympic Movement and to spread the opportunities presented by the Olympic Esports Games more widely, with the objective of having the inaugural Games as soon as possible. The overwhelming feedback received from the Olympic Movement stakeholders and the esports community shows that there is a great desire and considerable support for the initiative. 译文： 奥林匹克电子竞技运动会的倡议在奥林匹克运动的所有利益相关者和电子竞技社区中引起了极大的兴奋，大家都期待着首届赛事的到来。 在过去的一年里，国际奥委会（IOC）和沙特奥林匹克与残奥会委员会（SOPC）根据双方于 2024 年宣布的合作关系，就奥林匹克电子竞技运动会的概念进行了深入讨论。 近期，双方以及电子竞技世界杯基金会再次坐下来审视这一倡议。他们一致同意终止在奥林匹克电子竞技运动会方面的合作。同时，双方都致力于在各自独立的道路上追求电子竞技方面的目标。国际奥委会方面将根据“暂停与反思”过程中的反馈，制定新的奥林匹克电子竞技运动会方案，并寻求新的合作模式。 这种方法将为奥林匹克电子竞技运动会更好地契合奥林匹克运动的长期目标提供机会，并更广泛地传播奥林匹克电子竞技运动会带来的机遇，目标是尽快举办首届运动会。 奥林匹克运动相关方和电子竞技界收到的压倒性反馈表明，对于这一倡议有着强烈的愿望和相当大的支持。

综合IT之家此前报道，去年 7 月，国际奥委会宣布与沙特奥委会达成合作，计划 2025 年在沙特举办首届奥林匹克电竞运动会，但由于赛事筹备复杂时间紧迫、游戏发行商与主办方的矛盾、其他赛事的时间冲突等问题延期。今年 2 月，国际奥委会曾宣布，首届电竞奥运会将于 2027 年在沙特利雅得举行。
