World Cup Champion Divya Deshmukh: Goa chief minister Pramod Sawant on Tuesday unveiled the official logo and anthem of the FIDE World Cup 2025. Returning to India after 23 years, the tournament will feature 206 players from 82 countries.

The FIDE World Cup 2025, one of the most prestigious tournaments on the global chess calendar, will be held in North Goa from October 31 to November 27, 2025, bringing together elite players from across the world in a knockout contest for a prize purse of USD 2 million (approx. INR 17.58 crore).

While the logo reflects Goa’s vibrant, culturally rich identity—capturing the essence of the state’s coastal charm and the strategic elegance of chess—the anthem, sung by legendary artist Daler Mehndi, adds a touch of grandeur and mystique to the event.
