HORETO AT THE HEART OF THE ESPORTS WORLD CUP 2026

This summer, Paris Expo Porte de Versailles became the very first international host of the Esports World Cup, with seven weeks of competition in Hall 1, from 6 July to 23 August. A world first outside Saudi Arabia, and a major challenge for the Horeto teams.

Even before the opening competitions kicked off, the build-up crews had to be fed, between 700 and 1000 people a day depending on the construction phase. A catering operation built to keep pace with an event of this scale.

Once the event was underway, on-site catering points and food trucks took over, serving the thousands of players, staff and visitors who came to experience this international competition throughout its run.

Seven weeks of intense gaming, with Horeto in the kitchen from the first day to the last.

📍 Hall 1, Paris Expo Porte de Versailles

Frédéric Boyer – CEO of HORETO – was shaped by his time in the Chasseurs Alpins elite military unit and and his experience at IBM, where he contributed to the early days of interactive programming with the GAP2 language. There he gained both grit and determination on the one hand, and a knack for numbers and data on the other.

Since joining HORETO in 1981, he has established himself as a leading expert in event catering for trade shows and conventions.

Nothing gets him going like breaking new ground and finding solutions where others couldn’t.
