The event promises an exciting celebration of global esports and football.
As part of FC Pro Festival 2025, the live event will take place on November 8-9 at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City. The event will feature 20 elite FC Mobile and FC Online players from 12 nations across the world, who have battled to qualify through FC Pro Masters Seoul, FC Mobile Festival Bangkok, FC Pro Champions Cup Shanghai, and other licensed regional tournaments. They will be competing for a champion trophy and $50,000 in prize money.
In the FC Online, football fans can anticipate an electrifying atmosphere filled with interactive experiences as national teams compete for national pride in two distinct competitions: the All Star and the National Challenge. Each team is composed of two professional players, two KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders), and one grassroots player.
“Joining the FC Pro Festival 2025 as the presenting partner in Vietnam underscores Visa’s commitment to engaging young fans where they already are – in football, esports, and digital experiences. By enabling seamless and secure payment experiences, we’re not only enhancing how fans interact with the game, but also helping uplift Vietnam’s local economy and support esports and tourism growth. Through initiatives like this, we’re creating immersive moments that go beyond payments and demonstrate how technology can elevate the way fans engage with the game,” said Ms. Dung Dang, Country Manager for Visa Vietnam and Laos.
