The Esports World Cup Foundation (EWCF) has officially launched Heroes Club, a year-long membership program designed specifically for players who win tournaments at the Esports World Cup.

It’s a new move aimed at recognizing top talent and giving them more than just a trophy to take home.

So, what’s in it for the winners? Quite a bit, actually. Heroes Club members get access to an exclusive digital platform packed with unique experiences.

There’s also the chance to enjoy premium hospitality at some of the world’s biggest events — think Super Bowl, Formula One races, and even the Champions League Final. It’s part of EWCF’s broader plan to make esports feel just as prestigious as traditional sports.

That’s not all. Members also get early access to new gaming titles before they hit the shelves, giving them a first look (and first shot) at what’s coming next in the gaming world.

Speaking about the initiative, Faisal Bin Homran, EWCF’s Chief Product Officer, said that the club is another step toward building "a sustainable future for esports." As per his statement, the idea is to support players at every stage of their journey, helping shape esports as a serious, long-term career path.

This isn’t Heroes Club’s first appearance — over 80 players were awarded honorary status during last year’s Esports World Cup. But this year, it’s being rolled out with a clearer structure and way more benefits.

In addition to launching Heroes Club, EWCF has also expanded its partner program. Now, 40 esports organizations are on board, with each receiving six-figure funding to boost their presence and fan engagement ahead of the 2025 Esports World Cup, which kicks off on July 7.

Recently, EWCF has also been growing its international presence — from expanding into India to announcing musical artists and striking new partnerships. It’s all part of a larger effort to turn the Esports World Cup into a global spectacle.

Set to be held in Riyadh, the tournament will feature 2,000 elite players, 200 clubs, and 25 tournaments across 24 titles, all battling for a record-breaking prize pool of over $70 million.
