Jordan has taken an important step in the development of the country's esports — the nation has officially joined the FC Pro ecosystem in the Middle East region. This opens the door for Jordanian players to compete in international EA SPORTS FC tournaments.
The decision comes as a result of extensive efforts by the President of the Jordan Esports Federation, Prince Omar bin Al Faisal. A crucial milestone was also his visit to EA headquarters in California, following which Jordan received official status within the FC Pro system.
Joining the FC Pro ecosystem allows Jordan to participate in the FC Pro Open — a tournament that is part of the global EA SPORTS FC esports system.
Thus, an official pathway from domestic competitions to the international stage opens up for local players. Jordanian esports athletes will have the opportunity to compete with representatives of other countries, face off against the world's best players, and fight for qualification to major international tournaments.
The country's official inclusion into the FC Pro system is the result of a series of negotiations and initiatives aimed at strengthening Jordan's presence on the international esports map.
The FC Pro Open could serve as a vital launching pad for a new generation of Jordanian talent in EA SPORTS FC, enabling them to transition from a local level to global competition.
For Jordan, this is not merely participation in another tournament, but the creation of a full-fledged player development pathway in international esports.
As a reminder, Team Liquid is conducting its third wave of layoffs this year amid financial difficulties and the loss of a sponsor.
