The first Esports Nations Cup (ENC), set to be held in Saudi Arabia later this year, has been delayed until 2027.
The competitive video gaming event, which brings together players representing different countries and global territories, was set to take place in Riyadh this November.
But organisers the Esports Foundation announced they had postponed it by 12 months due to the "wider regional situation" in the Middle East, where the USA's war with Iran continues.
The foundation already relocated their Esports World Cup (EWC) event to Paris in July this year due to the ongoing conflict.
The ENC was due to debut in the Saudi capital this year to "introduce national representation" to the global esports calendar.
