Ronaldo Named as Esports World Cup Ambassador
Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the Global Ambassador for the Esports World Cup 2025 (EWC), a move aimed at boosting the tournament's global reach.

Ronaldo's connection to the EWC isn’t new; he played a role in the tournament's global announcement in 2023 and attended last summer’s Closing Ceremony in Riyadh, where he celebrated Team Falcons’ championship win.
As part of his ambassador role, Ronaldo will lead the EWC's global campaign and appear as a playable character in FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves, one of the 25 games featured in the tournament.
“Sport is always evolving – and esports is one more frontier,” Ronaldo commented. “The commitment, drive, talent, and intensity I have seen in esports athletes is no different from what I’ve experienced on the pitch. I’m proud to stand alongside these competitors and be part of this global event.”
The Esports World Cup 2025 will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with the theme “Rise Above,” focusing on pushing boundaries and achieving greatness.
