The world will come together for football’s greatest spectacle this year — and now the world of cycling esports has its own global showdown: the first-ever SISU World Cup.
Inspired by the spirit, passion, and national pride of the FIFA World Cup, SISU Racing has announced a brand-new international racing concept where every pedal stroke counts for your country. Riders won’t just race for individual glory — they’ll race for national pride across four action-packed “Games”. It’s a unique twist, with the fastest three riders in each game counting towards their country’s GC.
United Kingdom Riders – to race for your country, please change the country listed on your profile in the Companion app from the United Kingdom to England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland.
The Games
And in true SISU fashion, the routes have been selected to test every type of rider — punchers, climbers, diesel engines, technical racers, and tactical masterminds.
Game 1
Tuesday, June 9: Cobbles Crown – Richmond
The SISU World Game begins on the punchy cobbles of Richmond. Short climbs, rolling terrain, and technical rhythm changes will demand explosive power and sharp race IQ. Positioning will be everything as nations battle for the first jersey and first bragging rights of the series.
Game 2
Tuesday, June 16: 2018 UCI Worlds Short Lap – Innsbruck
A nod to one of cycling’s most iconic World Championship venues. Innsbruck delivers relentless climbing pressure and rewards riders who can suffer deep and keep pushing. Pure climbers and punchy all-rounders will smell opportunity here.
Game 3
Tuesday, June 23: Spinfinity – New York
Fast. Aggressive. Unpredictable. New York’s futuristic roads bring high-speed racing with constant elevation changes and no room to hide. Expect attacks, counterattacks, and nations fighting desperately for every second as the SISU World Game reaches its critical phase.
Game 4
Tuesday, June 30: Green to Screen – New York
The final Game promises fireworks. Green to Screen is one of Zwift’s most demanding modern routes — beginning with fast-flowing terrain before rising into a brutal uphill finale. This is where legends will be made, GC battles settled, and one nation crowned champion of the SISU World Game.
