Team Falcons is a Saudi esport team founded and led by Musaed Al-Dossary in 2017. It includes more than two hundred professional esport players representing twenty-seven games. The team's greatest achievement was winning the Esports World Cup in 2024.

Establishment of Team Falcons

Team Falcons, an esport team, was founded in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2017 and is considered one of the leading teams in the Arab region, competing in various esport titles such as Fortnite, PUBG, and FIFA. After its establishment, the team paused operations for a few years due to its founder, Musaed Al-Dossary, receiving professional offers abroad. In March 2020, Musaed Al-Dossary decided to reestablish the team, setting new objectives for its second phase. The first goal was for Falcons to become the best tournament-winning team in the Middle East, with sixty players signing up in the first year across four different games. The second goal was to establish a strong brand identity, and the third was to rank among the top ten esport organizations in the world. However, with continuous success, the team's ambitions accelerated, leading to its first Esports World Cup title in 2024.

Transition to Falcons Company

Following a series of achievements and reaching its highest goal of winning the Esports World Cup, Team Falcons transitioned into a company in 2024, employing eighty staff members across seven departments, including fifty full-time employees. Additionally, the company has a management office in Europe with ten employees. After securing the Esports World Cup title, Falcons, also known as Falcons Club, grew to include around two hundred players across twenty-seven games, with total player contracts amounting to USD5.2 million. The organization also acquired nine full teams competing in all international, continental, and local championships.

Team Falcons wins the World Championship

The Saudi Team Falcons secured their first Esports World Cup title, the biggest event in esports history, after winning Call of Duty: Warzone. Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman awarded them the Esports World Cup trophy, triumphing over nearly five hundred teams and 1,500 professional players from around the world. The team also claimed the tournament's largest prize of USD7 million, part of a record-breaking USD60 million prize pool, the biggest in esports history. Team Falcons topped the leaderboard with 5,665 points, earned through participation in twelve tournaments, securing first place in Call of Duty: Warzone and Free Fire.
