The Esports World Cup makes its debut this summer in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with over 20 game titles and a record-breaking prize pool of over $60 million. Esports organizations around the world are eagerly awaiting participation in the tournament, but only 30 of them made it into the Club Support Program.

Ralf Reichert, CEO of the Esports World Cup Foundation, emphasized the significance of the program, stressing its “critical” importance to the Foundation’s vision of “building a stronger esports ecosystem and elevating esports to a global sport.”

The Esports World Cup Foundation Club Support Program will provide substantial financial support to prominent esports organizations, with the goal of promoting “the creation of sustainable infrastructure” in the esports ecosystem. By funding clubs to expand their reach and increase their competitive advantage across multiple game titles, the Club Support Program will provide “impactful career opportunities” to players around the world, according to the Esports World Cup Foundation.

Esports organizations that earn a spot in the Club Support Program will have access to a six-figure fund, although the exact amount has not been made public.
