FIDE has already issued the first batch of invitations for those players already qualified to take part in the World Cup and Womenโ€™s World Cup, to be held in the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku, from July 29 to August 25. This batch of players amounts to approximately 50% of the total participants.

A second batch of invitations in both Cups will be sent on June 1st, after the reference rating list according to the regulations (June 2023) is published. The third batch of players will be known on June 15th, at the conclusion of the Zonal and Continental events still pending to be played. The remaining spots are reserved for Federations based on the performance at the Chennai Chess Olympiad 2022: in total, 71 national federations in the Open section and 36 in Women’s are entitled to nominate a player, who must have been a member of their national team at the Olympiad 2022, that has not qualified by any other path.

The World Cup is one of FIDEโ€™s flagship competitions, and in recent editions, it has clearly become one of the most followed events in the chess calendar. This reflects FIDEโ€™s efforts to expand the competition, increasing the variety of qualification paths and the number of represented countries (estimated at 80 for the 2023 edition), while drastically decreasing the number of wild cards. 

With 206 players in the open section, plus 103 in the Womenโ€™s competition, this event has seen its combined prize pool boosted to a whopping USD 2.5 million, the single largest one at any chess event in the world.ย The venue for the event will be the Baku Marriott Hotel Boulevard. Official regulations and detailed information about the event can be found here.
