The History of Team Falcons: How a Saudi Esports Organization Became a Global Powerhouse

Over the past few years, Team Falcons has established itself as one of the most influential esports organizations in the world. What began as a regional project in Saudi Arabia has evolved into a global esports powerhouse, fielding rosters in more than twenty competitive titles, signing some of the industry’s biggest stars, and consistently competing for championships at the world’s most prestigious tournaments.

The Foundation of Team Falcons

Team Falcons was officially founded on December 28, 2017. Initially, the organization focused on FIFA (now EA SPORTS FC) and the rapidly growing Saudi esports scene. One of the club’s co-founders was professional FIFA player Mosaad «Msdossary» Al-Dossary, who also served as the organization’s Chief Executive Officer.

During its early years, Team Falcons concentrated on developing local esports talent while building a competitive infrastructure. However, from the very beginning, the organization’s leadership pursued an ambitious vision of becoming an internationally recognized esports brand.

Expanding onto the Global Stage

As the organization grew, Team Falcons expanded far beyond its original FIFA roster. It entered numerous competitive titles, including Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, Rocket League, PUBG, VALORANT, Rainbow Six Siege, Overwatch, Apex Legends, Trackmania, and several others.

Today, Team Falcons is considered one of the world’s most diversified esports organizations, competing across multiple game genres and maintaining elite rosters in several major esports ecosystems.

The organization’s rapid expansion coincided with Saudi Arabia’s increasing investment in esports, including the hosting of international tournaments and the development of a sustainable esports industry within the Kingdom.

Building Super Teams

One of Team Falcons’ defining characteristics has been its aggressive transfer strategy.

Rather than focusing solely on developing young talent, the organization has consistently invested in acquiring some of the world’s most accomplished professional players. This approach has led analysts and fans to describe several Falcons rosters as true «super teams.»

Over the years, Team Falcons has recruited elite competitors across Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, Rocket League, Rainbow Six Siege, and numerous other titles, enabling the club to challenge the world’s most successful esports organizations almost immediately.

Success Across Multiple Esports Titles

Today, Team Falcons competes in more than twenty esports disciplines and regularly qualifies for the world’s biggest international tournaments.

The organization has achieved particularly strong results in:

  • Counter-Strike 2
  • Dota 2
  • Rocket League
  • PUBG
  • Rainbow Six Siege
  • VALORANT
  • Apex Legends
  • EA SPORTS FC

Its Rocket League division has secured several international championships, while the Dota 2 roster has consistently performed at elite-level events. In Counter-Strike 2, Team Falcons has assembled one of the most star-studded lineups on the professional circuit.

Dominance at the Esports World Cup

One of the defining chapters in Team Falcons’ history has been its remarkable success at the Esports World Cup.

The organization has emerged as one of the strongest clubs in the tournament’s Club Championship, earning points across multiple game titles rather than relying on success in a single discipline.

Team Falcons won the overall Esports World Cup Club Championship in both 2024 and 2025, reinforcing its reputation as one of the world’s premier multi-title esports organizations.

Counter-Strike 2: A Strategic Priority

Among all of Team Falcons’ divisions, Counter-Strike 2 has become one of the organization’s highest priorities.

In recent years, Falcons has invested heavily in strengthening its CS2 lineup by signing internationally renowned players and experienced coaching staff. The club has completed several high-profile transfers while continuously refining its roster to compete for championships at the highest level.

This long-term investment has positioned Team Falcons among the strongest contenders at elite Counter-Strike events worldwide.

Building a Global Brand

Competitive success represents only one aspect of Team Falcons’ long-term strategy.

The organization has invested heavily in brand development through international partnerships, merchandise, digital media production, and fan engagement initiatives. As a result, Team Falcons has evolved into more than just a successful esports organization–it has become a globally recognized esports brand with a rapidly growing international audience.

Looking Ahead

Team Falcons continues to expand its presence across the global esports industry.

The organization regularly enters new competitive titles, signs world-class players, and strengthens its infrastructure to remain competitive across multiple esports ecosystems.

In less than a decade, Team Falcons has transformed itself from a regional Saudi esports project into one of the world’s leading esports organizations. With substantial investment, long-term strategic planning, and a commitment to excellence across multiple disciplines, the club is well positioned to remain among the industry’s elite for years to come.
