World Phygital Community Unveils Upcoming Tournament Season

The World Phygital Community (WPC) has made a significant announcement regarding the upcoming 2025/2026 season of global ranking tournaments, set to serve as qualifiers for the much-anticipated Games of the Future in 2026, to be held in Kazakhstan. This announcement, made on April 15, 2025, marks a pivotal moment for both athletes and sports clubs participating in phygital sports around the globe.

A Promising Season Ahead

The tournament season will commence on August 1, 2025, and culminate on December 15, 2025, providing a comprehensive platform for teams and individuals to showcase their skills in various phygital sports. The season is expected to be unprecedented in scale, involving 96 WPC members from 92 different countries. Whether a newcomer or a seasoned competitor, all aspiring athletes will have the chance to prove their mettle in this rapidly growing international phenomenon.

Phygital Sports: The Best of Both Worlds

Phygital sports unite the physical and digital realms, requiring athletes to perform in both a digital format and a live competition environment. The tournaments will cover several core disciplines:

• - Phygital Football
• - Phygital Basketball
• - Phygital Shooter
• - Phygital Dancing

For the first three sports, competitors will participate in two distinct phases: a digital contest where they will engage in a video game version of the sport, followed by a physical contest held in real-world scenarios. On the other hand, the Phygital Dancing tournaments will uniquely encapsulate the experience through renowned dance video games, providing a singular challenge that merges competition and entertainment.

Pathway to the Games of the Future

As the season progresses, rankings will be determined, and the top two athletes and clubs in each sport will secure direct qualification for the Games of the Future 2026. Additionally, those ranked between third and twenty-sixth will have an exciting opportunity to compete for a place at the grand event through the Phygital Contenders tournament. This build-up is not only a chance for athletes to gain recognition but also to embrace the future of sports.

Community Participation and Hosting Tournaments

The WPC invites all its members to submit bids to host the Phygital Origins and Phygital Rivals tournaments, ensuring that these events truly represent the global nature of this initiative. The application window runs from May 1 to July 31, 2025, allowing ample time for clubs to prepare their proposals.
