Esports World Cup launches new social media channel
RIYADH: As the 2025 Esports World Cup continues in Riyadh, the Esports World Cup Foundation has launched EWC_Extra, a dedicated social channel on X and Instagram focused on real-time coverage, community reactions and key moments from inside the arena. Built for the community across EWC's 25 tournaments, EWC_Extra features play-by-play content from tournament upsets and Most Valued Player performances to memes, creator posts and behind-the-scenes access. In tandem with the main EWC channel, it forms a two-part content ecosystem to reflect the scale of the world's biggest esports event. While the main channel delivers human stories and cultural context, EWC_Extra stays focused on the tournament action itself. Running until Aug. 24, Esports World Cup 2025 brings together 2,000 players and 200 clubs competing in 25 tournaments across 24 games for a record-breaking prize pool of $70+ million prize pool. Backed by football legend Cristiano Ronaldo and chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen, it is being broadcast in 140 countries. Two weeks in, eight champions have been crowned so far. Gen.G continued their winning streak to take the League of Legends title, Heretics won VALORANT in a dramatic reverse sweep, VK claimed Apex Legends with a final-game victory, and Redline defended their Rennsport title. GO1 delivered a shock win over favorite Xiao Hai in Fatal Fury, while Team Spirit dropped just one game on their way to the Dota 2 crown. Team Vitality were unbeaten to take the MLBB Women's Invitational and EVOS Esports triumphed in Free Fire, with 15-year-old wonderkid Rasyah securing the tournament's MVP award.

‘Incredible': Ben Sulayem says F1's future has never looked more exciting
DUBAI: Mohammed Ben Sulayem, president of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, believes the future of Formula 1 has never looked more exciting as the 2025 season heads for this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix. For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport With the current season delivering some of the best action seen in recent years, and with plenty more still to come, Ben Sulayem feels the arrival next year of a new team, a new venue and new regulations will reinforce the championship's global appeal. 'As we reach the mid-point of the 2025 calendar, we are already looking towards next season with a great deal of excitement and expectation,' the FIA president said in a press release. 'Our fans have plenty to look forward to, with Cadillac joining the grid as the 11th team, new FIA regulations to improve racing — bringing lighter, more agile cars and sustainable fuel — and the addition of Madrid as a new racing destination. 'The level of competition this year is incredible, with so much top-level talent on display,' he continued. 'And the impact of F1 is also supporting the FIA's goal to increase global participation in motorsport. Talented young drivers, whatever their background, have a real chance, and the next generation of stars is already coming through.' Ben Sulayem also addressed the possibility of a first F1 driver from the Middle East. 'Although the Middle East has yet to produce a Formula 1 driver, that may change as more young prospects emerge from a region eager to make a bigger impact in F1 and global motorsport,' he said. 'F1's popularity has seen remarkable growth across the Arab world, particularly among young people and female fans. In Saudi Arabia, there is a strong focus on engaging youth at every level of the sport — a trend mirrored in Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE,' he continued. 'This inclusive momentum is vital to ensure the long-term growth and sustainability of motorsport throughout the region.'
