The Event That United the Region's Collectors

TCG Con Arabia's first edition showed the strength, passion, and growth of the trading card community across Saudi Arabia.

The first edition of TCG Con Arabia demonstrated the scale and energy of Saudi Arabia's trading card community. Across two days, more than 3,000 visitors entered a sold-out event that brought together 43 vendors, collectors, players, creators, families, and brands in a dedicated 2,000-square-metre experience.

The numbers tell part of the story. Vendors generated more than SAR 10 million in direct sales, while the estimated value of products displayed across the event exceeded SAR 30 million. Those figures reflected a serious marketplace, but the lasting impact was visible in the conversations, trades, discoveries, and relationships created throughout the venue.

Collectors travelled with carefully prepared wish lists and trade binders. New visitors learned about grading, sealed products, card conditions, accessories, and different games. Vendors met customers who understood their inventory and returned for additional purchases. Players and fans found people who shared their interests, while families were able to explore a hobby that combines strategy, design, storytelling, competition, and collecting.

The sold-out debut also confirmed an important need: the community benefits from a physical home where trusted businesses, experienced collectors, new fans, and global hobby culture can meet. TCG Con Arabia is designed to support that ecosystem by creating space for commerce, learning, entertainment, collaboration, and responsible trading.

The next edition will take place at Riyadh Boulevard City on 4-5 December 2026. It will carry forward the strongest parts of the debut while creating a larger, more structured journey for visitors and participants. The first edition proved the demand; the next chapter is focused on turning that momentum into a lasting platform for trading card culture in Saudi Arabia and the wider region.
