RIYADH: Denmark’s Anders Vejrgang has hailed Saudi Esports Federation tournaments as “special,” as the 17-year-old celebrated becoming a FIFAe Club World Cup champion with RBLZ Gaming at Gamers8: The Land of Heroes, two years after triumphing at Gamers Without Borders.
Vejrgang and Umut Gultekin celebrated on Sunday night after RBLZ Gaming defeated FUTWIZ 3-2 in the FIFAe Club World Cup final at Boulevard Riyadh City to win $300,000 from the tournament’s $1 million prize pool.
Vejrgang made his debut tournament at just 15 in 2021 with victory at Gamers Without Borders, the world’s largest charitable esports event.
The Saudi Esports Federation organizes both Gamers Without Borders — where Vejrgang generously donated his share of the $300,000 winnings to the UN Children’s Fund — and Gamers8: The Land of Heroes.
