Sri Lanka’s largest female-focused Esports event, Pond’s Women’s Cyber Games (WCG) powered by Anchor Newdale, returns on 29 March at One Galle Face Mall, Colombo.

The event will feature a diverse line-up of game titles spanning Mobile, PC, Console, and VR platforms, including Call of Duty Mobile, Clash Royale, Free Fire, Mobile Legends, PUBG MOBILE, Fall Guys, League of Legends, Valorant, FC 25, Mortal Kombat 1, and Beat Saber. 

Expanding beyond gaming, this year’s event will also feature a women’s cosplay competition, giving young women across the country a platform to showcase their creativity, embrace their passion for cosplay, and express themselves within the gaming community.

Gamer.LK CEO Raveen Wijayatilake shared his thoughts on the significance of this year’s event, stating: “Esports is a gender-neutral sport, and we are committed to creating opportunities for female gamers to shine. Over the years, WCG has been the starting point for many female players who have gone on to represent Sri Lanka on the national Esports stage. We are thrilled to bring the event back to a LAN environment, where we look forward to seeing the next generation of female Esports talent rise, compete, and make their mark in both local and international arenas.” This year’s event is backed by Pond’s as the Title Sponsor and powered by Anchor Newdale, leading the way in embracing Esports as the sport of the future and empowering young women to rise in the industry.
