EWCF announces 2025 Club Partner Program: All confirmed clubs, purpose of the $20 million initiative, and more

Esports World Cup Foundation (EWCF) has announced the top 40 esports clubs that have been selected for the 2025 EWCF Club Partner Program. This $20 million initiative aims to provide financial support to these esports organizations so they can promote sustainable growth of their brand across the globe through innovative content and marketing campaigns.

This article will brief you on everything you need to know about the EWCF Club Partner program including the selected esports organization.

What is the purpose of the EWCF Club Partner Program?

This year’s Club Partner program features 40 clubs from different regions across the globe. Participating clubs could receive up to $1 million in funding to grow their brand and audience ahead of the Esports World Cup 2025. However, being a Club Partner doesn’t guarantee a spot in the upcoming EWC tournament. Players will still need to compete to secure a spot in the tournament.

The financial support from EWCF granted to these clubs directly corresponds to reaching a larger audience and viewership across the globe. Collectively, these 40 clubs are expected to unite 300 million esports fans worldwide. Clubs can use the funds to create EWC-related experiences and content to drive viewership of the upcoming Esports World Cup 2025 tournament.

What was the selection process for the EWCF Club Partner Program?

All the clubs in the 2025 Club Partner Program were selected through an evaluation process that reviewed over 200 applicants. The selection was made based on the club’s “competitive track record in the Club Championship in 2024, their potential across multiple games, social media presence, fan engagement, and their strategic plans for activating their global esports audience.”
