GAM Named an Official Club Partner of the Esports World Cup 2026, the Only One From Vietnam

From the desk of Anthony "TK" Nguyen, Founder and CEO, GAM Entertainment.

They said a team from Vietnam would never belong on the world's biggest stage.

Today, from Paris, GAM Entertainment is one of 40 Official Club Partners of the Esports World Cup 2026. The only one from Vietnam.

For a country that loves this game as much as anyone on earth, that word matters. Partner. Not guest. Not wildcard. A club that belongs in the room with the most storied esports organizations in the world.

Why this is bigger than a badge

The Esports World Cup is the largest esports event on the planet, and the Club Partner Program is its inner circle. It is a long term commitment between the event and a small group of organizations chosen to help carry the sport forward. Being selected is a signal. It says the people who run global esports believe GAM is built to last.

We did not get here on one good split. We got here on a decade of showing up. Nine domestic League of Legends titles. A run to the Mid-Season Invitational that made the world look twice. A fanbase that turns every match into a national moment. That is the resume that put Vietnam in this room.

The moment on stage

At the Opening Ceremony, GAM walked out shoulder to shoulder with the top esports organizations in the world. A first for Vietnam, and a picture I will keep for the rest of my life.

For a decade, Vietnamese fans have poured everything into this game. Their energy has always been world-class. Now the platform matches the passion.

What belonging looks like now

For years the story of Vietnamese esports was potential. Talented, passionate, always one step from the main stage. That story ends here.

Belonging is not something you are handed. It is something you build, standard by standard, until the result is impossible to argue with. We built ours in front of the loudest fans in the world, and now that work travels to Paris on the biggest platform the sport has.

This is what we mean when we say world-class, from Vietnam. Not world-class someday. World-class now.

This is just the start

The badge is not the finish line. It is the door.

Over the coming months we will bring the #GAMFAM everything that comes with this: the road to the Esports World Cup, the moments behind the scenes, and the fans who turned a team into a movement. If you have been with us from the small rooms to the big stages, this one is yours too.

Vietnam to the world. It is GAM Time.
