28 of the 32 players have already been confirmed for the FC Pro World Championship Finals. Leaving four more slots being played for in the Play-Ins.
48 contenders, including the five promoted from the LCQ will compete in an all or nothing one day tournament.
The Play-Ins have proven to be a valuable route to the World Championship Finals, for players who have missed out on winning partner leagues or succeeding in FC Ladder events. Two of last year’s WC semi-finalists qualified via the Play-Ins. Charif and Yuval exceeded expectations by making it that deep into the tournament. With Yuval making it to the Grand Final, where he was defeated by Vejrgang.
This indicates that elite level FC players can be found in the Play-Ins environment. This year is no exception. With some of the world’s best making up the field. ManuBachoore, Mark11, PHzin, Umut, Alihanlion and Yuval, are just a handful that will be aiming for success at the Play-Ins.
The intensity of the Play-Ins will take place on August 3rd 2025, mere days away from the Finals on August 7-10.
Four triumphant players will get their chance to play for the world champion, while everyone else will go home.
Go big or go home - it’s simple as that!
