Since 2020, we have built and strengthened a strong collaboration with our sponsored partner Real Madrid that has only grown with each passing year.
At the Dubai Expo 2024, Real Madrid legend Roberto Carlos revealed that our flagship competition, the upgraded xBar Cup 2025, is back for another exciting year, set to captivate Madridistas and football fans worldwide with more action, more participants, and even bigger prizes! This year’s competition builds on the incredible success of last year’s edition, which saw an astounding 90,935 participants from over 50 countries and 1,994,839 submissions, creating unforgettable moments for football lovers globally.
Fans and Freestylers Prepare for the Ultimate Showdown
Our latest competition introduces a surprising twist – Football Freestylers will now have the opportunity to showcase their talent through a unique tournament, with the champion claiming a grand prize of $25,000. Runner-up prizes include $5,000 for second place, $3,000 for third, and $2,000 for fourth, ensuring that every kick counts towards something spectacular.
Fan interaction is once again a key component of the competition’s DNA as through October – February fans will be able to vote 4 finalists who are going to showcase their incomparable skillset and battle it out at the field in Madrid for the prestigious title. Furthermore, voters stand to enter themselves into their very own competition: a special, fans-only Lightning Round at Real Madrid Valdebebas, in which they can win $5,000 and $1,000 respectively in trading account credit!
As noted by our CMO Garen Meserlian, ‘Our long-standing alliance with Real Madrid has allowed us to continue blending forex with football. This latest collaboration is a culmination of our joint creative vision, bringing an unprecedented event to life that spotlights global freestylers and fans’.
