FC Pro Champions Cup: Schedule and Format

The mobile event is scheduled for three days, starting on the 9th of September and ending on the 11th. Contestants must be at least sixteen years old when they register. The Knockout Stage will involve six participants who have advanced from Domestic Qualifying Events in a preliminary Group Stage.

In this tournament, each team plays every other team in their group exactly once, following a simple round-robin structure. Each match consists of two games, and at the end, the top two teams from each group move on to the playoffs. The remaining four teams then face off against one another in a cross-style league format for the remainder of the competition.

1. Semifinals: Winners fight it out to reach the Finals.
2. Second Chance Match: Losers compete again, facing off against the defeated semi-finalist from each pair.
