Free Fire joins the line-up for 2025's Esports World Cup as hugely popular event set to return

by Aaron Jan 23,2025

The Esports World Cup is set to return in 2025, with Free Fire making a highly anticipated comeback. Team Falcons, victors of the 2024 competition, will undoubtedly be aiming for another win.

The 2024 Esports World Cup was a significant success, paving the way for its 2025 iteration. Garena's Free Fire will be a key addition to the lineup. Team Falcons' triumph in the 2024 Free Fire Champions event earned them a coveted spot in the Free Fire World Series Global Finals in Rio de Janeiro.

Free Fire joins Honor of Kings in returning to Riyadh for this Gamers8 spin-off event. Saudi Arabia's substantial investment aims to establish the country as a leading esports destination, with the Esports World Cup offering substantial prizes.

The high production values of the Esports World Cup are evident, attracting titles like Free Fire to compete on a global stage. However, despite its grandeur, the World Cup remains a secondary event compared to other major global esports competitions. This raises questions about its long-term appeal and continued growth.

Nevertheless, the event represents a significant turnaround from the cancellation of the Free Fire World Series in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
