As participants from various academic backgrounds come together to compete in this thrilling competition, the campus will undoubtedly buzz with excitement and camaraderie, embodying the true spirit of sportsmanship and academic excellence.
The opening rounds begin on October 12th
The UK National FC25 Tournament’s preliminary stages start on October 12 and go over two weekends before ending on October 26. In addition, a TCL television and a £1,000 prize fund are included in the UK National FC 25 Tournament.
It is mandatory for participating colleges and universities to have an internal competition with a minimum of sixteen players. The top four players competing in the grand final will also get lodging and travel reimbursement from the University of Warwick’s Esports Center.
