Team Falcons won the Rocket League World Championship 2026 with a 4-0 sweep of Spacestation Gaming in Fort Worth, Texas, giving the MENA region its first title in the competition and the Riyadh-based organisation its first world championship.
The result completed a long route through the tournament. Falcons entered through the Play-Ins, moved into the lower bracket after losing to Karmine Corp in the group stage, then beat FURIA, Shopify Rebellion and NRG before taking down Karmine Corp 4-2 in the semi-final. The final against Spacestation Gaming was shorter and considerably less negotiable.
Team Falcons Rocket League run ended with a clean sweep
Spacestation had already reached a second consecutive international grand final, but Falcons applied pressure from the opening game and never allowed the series to stretch. The 4-0 scoreline delivered Team Falcons’ first RLCS World Championship and ended MENA’s wait for the competition’s biggest trophy, according to Insider Gaming’s report.
The result also gives added weight to the region’s growing presence in the sport. Team Falcons’ roster of Samy ‘dralii’ Hajji and Saudi twin brothers Yazeed ‘Kiileerrz’ Bakhashwin and Saleh ‘Rw9’ Bakhashwin had already won the 2026 Esports World Cup, while the twins previously claimed the 2025 Raleigh Major. Hotspawn’s tournament report described the final as the breakthrough that completed the team’s world-title pursuit.
dralii and Rw9 add individual milestones
Rw9 was named Grand Finals MVP, while Kiileerrz collected the tournament MVP award. Dralii also extended an extraordinary record: he is now 6-0 in grand finals, with only three dropped games across those six series, according to Insider Gaming.
The roster’s win arrives as Epic prepares Rocket League for its planned move to Unreal Engine 6 in 2027. Tbreak covered the upgrade here. The title’s competitive scene now has a world champion from a region that has been building towards this moment for several seasons, and Team Falcons Rocket League has the trophy to prove it.
Strafe’s match report noted that the victory was the first RLCS World Championship title for both the organisation and MENA. Tbreak has also covered the wider commercial growth around the region’s esports ecosystem in its report on Lenovo’s Esports World Cup partnership.
