The Esports World Cup is back in 2025, and Free Fire is set to make a triumphant return! Following the success of the 2024 event, the tournament continues to grow, with Garena's Free Fire joining the lineup.
Team Falcons, victorious in the 2024 Free Fire Champions competition, secured their place in the Free Fire World Series Global Finals in Rio de Janeiro. Their win highlights the high stakes and global reach of this competition.
Free Fire will share the spotlight with Honor of Kings in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a location chosen for its significant investment in the esports scene. The Esports World Cup, a Gamers8 spin-off, offers substantial prizes and aims to establish Saudi Arabia as a leading esports destination.

The impressive production values of the Esports World Cup are a testament to the significant investment poured into the event. This explains the appeal for games like Free Fire to participate and showcase their competitive talent on a global platform.
However, while visually spectacular, the Esports World Cup still plays a supporting role compared to other major global esports events. Whether this will impact future participation remains to be seen.
Despite this, the event's return is a significant step forward, particularly considering the cancellation of the Free Fire World Series in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The resurgence signifies a positive outlook for the future of Free Fire esports.
