The Jordan Esports Federation has signed a memorandum of understanding with King Hussein Business Park to host more events.

Background: The Jordan Esports Federation Already Works from King Hussein Business Park

The agreement announced on Sunday formalises a relationship that was already visible on the ground. According to The Esports Radar, the Jordan Esports Federation is the government recognised regulator for esports in Jordan and is based at King Hussein Business Park in West Amman.

Much of that work happens at THE ARC, the arena and gaming dome inside the park. The same report lists past events held there, including the fourth Arab Esports League, a Women’s Esports Championship and Red Bull Login, which doubled as Jordan’s national final stage in Dota 2 and Counter-Strike 2. THE ARC is also described as an incubation centre supported by the federation and the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, and it runs training camps for players hoping to turn professional.

Investment Context: 2024 Plans and THE ARC Build a Local Esports Hub

King Hussein Business Park has been positioned as a destination for esports investment for some time. In 2024, lounge operator True Gamers announced plans for an esports venue in Jordan at the business park. In that project, its chief product officer publicly thanked the Jordan Esports Federation and Prince Omar.

That earlier investment signal matters because it shows the park was already being used as more than a general commercial site. With THE ARC hosting competitions, training camps and incubation activity, the business park had already become a practical base for competitive and developmental esports work before the memorandum of understanding was signed.

Development: King Hussein Business Park Announced the Memorandum of Understanding on Sunday

King Hussein Business Park announced the memorandum of understanding with the Jordan Esports Federation on Sunday in a statement published on its website. Prince Omar bin Faisal, who is President of the Jordan Esports Federation, attended the signing.

The deal gives the national body a formal framework to stage more tournaments and events at the site it already calls home. Under the memorandum, the federation and the business park will jointly host and organise specialised competitions on the King Hussein Business Park campus. They will also receive the international delegations and official guests that travel to those events.

Beyond the competitive side, the two organisations plan to cooperate on media and marketing, shared education, training and community projects, and the exchange of knowledge and expertise. Neither party has disclosed financial terms or the length of the agreement.

Statements: Innovation, Talent, Competitive Standards and Grassroots Growth

King Hussein Business Park CEO Eng. Ammar Ezzeddin presented the memorandum as part of the park’s wider ambitions. “This partnership builds on our ongoing efforts to create an enabling environment for institutions, initiatives and high-potential sectors, and to establish King Hussein Business Park as a hub for innovation and technology,” he said.

He added: “We look forward to helping the sector thrive and to hosting more tournaments and events that put Jordanian talent in the spotlight and raise the Kingdom’s profile in this field.”

Jordan Esports Federation Vice President Hazem Bawab focused on the competitive and grassroots goals. “This partnership is a significant step in our drive to develop the esports industry in Jordan and elevate the standard of local, regional and international competitions and activities,” he said.

Bawab continued: “We look forward to drawing on the setup and capabilities that King Hussein Business Park offers to scale our work, nurture young talent and launch joint programmes that help the industry grow and encourage greater participation.”

Latest Timing: Pocket Gamer Connects Jordan Brings Stakeholders to Amman on 7 and 8 November

The timing also places Amman in the industry spotlight. PocketGamer.biz notes that Pocket Gamer Connects Jordan takes place on 7 and 8 November, bringing many of the region’s games industry stakeholders to the city later this week.

For readers following the sector, that means the new framework is being revealed as Amman hosts a broader games industry gathering. The memorandum therefore arrives not only as an institutional agreement, but also as part of a moment when the city is already positioned to attract competitions, investment conversations and talent development.

Current Stage: A Formal Framework for an Already Active Venue

The Jordan Esports Federation and King Hussein Business Park are now positioned to organise more events through a written cooperation framework rather than relying only on the existing relationship. The memorandum covers specialised competitions, international guest reception, media and marketing, education, training, community projects and knowledge exchange, but leaves financial terms and duration undisclosed.

With THE ARC, past tournaments, 2024 investment plans and the November dates of Pocket Gamer Connects Jordan in the record, the memorandum marks the current stage of a longer build-out: Jordan’s recognised esports regulator has formalised its base at a business park already being used as an arena, incubation centre and investment destination.
