The Esports World Cup Foundation has announced the opening of the application process for participation in the EWCF Club Partner Program 2025.

This year’s EWCF Club Partner Program will welcome ten more organizations than the edition launched in 2024, increasing the number from 30 to 40 teams.

While eight teams from last year’s Club Championship will be invited, the remaining 32 places will be awarded to teams selected through the application process.

According to today’s Esports World Cup announcement, the EWCF Club Partner Program will invest a total of $20 million in the esports ecosystem in 2025. Teams participating in the EWCF Club Partner Program 2025 will receive “six-figure core funding to grow their organization in 2025 and activate their brand, players and fans during the 2025 Esports World Cup.”

Despite being part of the EWCF Club Partner Program 2025, teams must still qualify for it through “traditional methods” as “participation in the program does not guarantee a place at the 2025 Esports World Cup.”

Teams wishing to join the EWCF Club Partner Program 2025 must complete an application period that begins today, December 10th, and ends on January 10th. According to the Esports World Cup official statement:

Completing the application takes approximately an hour and requires important information about the club’s entities and legal structure, its active games, fan engagement on various social platforms and a vision for interaction with EWC25. The application form provided contains all the necessary details and information that clubs must submit.

After the application phase, the EWCF will “evaluate all applications received to identify successful clubs.” Finally, the selected teams will be notified.

If you’re a fan of Rainbow Six Siege, Esports World Cup 2025 is definitely worth watching, as Ubisoft’s title has already been confirmed to be part of next year’s edition.
