The Esports World Cup Foundation is bringing back a familiar name for its 2025 edition — stc Group, the Saudi Telecom Company, is returning as an Elite and Founding Partner for one of the biggest multi-title esports events in the world.
Set to take place once again in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the Esports World Cup is gearing up for an even bigger showing this year, and stc is playing a major role behind the scenes.
As part of the renewed partnership, stc Group will handle a vital piece of the puzzle: infrastructure. In large-scale events like this, where dozens of tournaments and thousands of players are running simultaneously, stable, high-performance connectivity isn’t just nice to have — it’s absolutely essential.
We are thrilled to renew our partnership with stc Group, reflecting a shared commitment to setting new standards for live esports events,
Ralf Reichert, CEO of the EWCF
But that’s not all. The company will also act as a broadcast partner, with every tournament streamed live on stc.tv, the group’s own digital platform — making it easier than ever for fans across the region to tune into the action.
The announcement comes as the Esports World Cup continues to gain serious momentum heading into 2025. Big-name sponsors are lining up, and high-profile figures like Cristiano Ronaldo have already come onboard to bridge the gap between traditional sports and competitive gaming.
