Team Liquid is making a significant social impact through its involvement in the global competitive gaming scene. The renowned Dutch esports organization has officially partnered with the sports memorabilia platform MatchWornShirt (MWS) to host a charity auction of their official jerseys during the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2026.
All proceeds from this auction will be donated entirely to UNICEF, a humanitarian organization dedicated to aiding children in need. The funds raised will support initiatives aimed at expanding educational access, promoting digital inclusion, and providing assistance to children affected by global crises.
Details of the Auction
The digital auction is set to commence on July 6, 2026, and will progress in phases aligned with Team Liquid's match schedule in Riyadh. This approach allows dedicated fans to chase jerseys from specific divisions or favored players without having to wait for the entire collection to be released.
Authenticity and Technology
The jerseys up for auction are genuine, having been worn by athletes during competitions. To combat counterfeiting, each piece will feature an NFC chip from MatchWornShirt, enabling buyers to verify the digital authenticity certificate simply by scanning it with their smartphones.
Team Liquid’s Participation in EWC 2026
At the Esports World Cup 2026, Team Liquid is proudly representing its best players across ten different games. This includes popular titles such as Dota 2, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Apex Legends, Fortnite, PUBG, Overwatch, EA Sports FC, Crossfire, Trackmania, and even Chess. As a result, collectors have a unique opportunity to acquire jerseys from globally renowned players, including legendary chess Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen.
Strategic Collaboration with MatchWornShirt
This partnership marks a significant milestone for MatchWornShirt as it expands its business into the global gaming industry. Tijmen Zonderwijk, Co-Founder of MWS, recognizes the EWC as the perfect platform to introduce authentic merchandise collecting to the esports community.
