<p>The <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/esports-continues-to-thrive-a-look/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Esports</a> World Cup Foundation (EWCF) has released the list of 30 organizations in esports joining its first-ever Club Support Program. The companies are offering six-figure payouts annually to expand into more esports titles.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="global-giants-join-the-ranks">Global giants join the ranks</h2>
<p>The roster includes industry players like FaZe Clan, 100 Thieves, Fnatic, and Cloud9. While the criteria for selection have not yet been disclosed, it is largely believed the EWCF will support the clubs in their outreach to new esports titles, such as going global or starting new content verticals.</p>
<p>The Club Support Program does not grant automatic access to the Esports World Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. There is a qualification process for each title in which the organizations have to qualify.</p>
<p>This forms an essential ingredient in the diversification of the Saudi economy.</p>
<p>The Esports World Cup is part of the plan of the Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, for vision 2030, first announced in 2016. In the same year, Savvy Games Group was established by the Public Investment Fund, and in 2021, it acquired key production companies in the sector, such as ESL Gaming, FACEIT, and Vindex, merging them into the ESL FACEIT Group.</p>
