When Usain Bolt, the world’s most iconic Olympian, became a co-owner of WYLDE, our shared vision was to help inspire a generation to fulfill their dreams through his Olympic achievements. Those dreams have become tangible realities with the creation of the Olympic Esports Games.
WYLDE, in its mission to foster young talent, has established an academy structure, powered by Virgin Media Ireland. We have also formed strategic partnerships with key stakeholders, including PUMA Group, to implement the necessary structures for identifying, supporting, and empowering talent to succeed. Our enduring collaboration with Ireland Esports has further bolstered our ability to work with grassroots talent and share our professional experience.
Usain is a gamer and has been all his life. He recognises that if you want to become a champion, you need hard work, dedication, and a commitment to the grind.
We applaud the International Olympic Committee’s decision to allow the world to witness the pinnacle of global esports excellence as players can now compete for Olympic glory and their place in history.
