Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports, Adam Adli has now shared that the E-Stadium is expected to be ready for operation next year, 2026. The E-Stadium is worth RM18 million, and is expected to be a one-stop hub involving various things related to esports.
Previously, in the last Budget 2025, the government allocated RM20 million for the development of the esports industry, and it was shared that part of the funds will be used for the development of the esports stadium.
The E-Stadium is also expected to be a hub for local and international events, thus further boosting the development of the esports arena in Malaysia. Apart from organizing esports events, it is also expected to be a community center involving esports.
For now, further information related to it, including location, size, and other offerings have not yet been shared. Perhaps we will hear more about it ahead of its launch in 2026.
