For the first time in history, the United States of America are bringing a fully built out Team USA to the Chessboxing World Championship!

With multiple titled chess players, professional boxers, and well-rounded chessboxers in between, we have a legitimate shot at taking home a team medal. Maybe if we get a little lucky, we can even dethrone the reigning champions, Russia.

This year, the World Championship Tournament will take place in Serbia from September 23rd - 29th. Not only do Chesboxers have to pay their way to the host country, cover their hotel, and submit entry fees, but also must invest in the high level of training in chess, boxing, and fitness required to perform at their best. That's where you come in!

Join Team USA by helping to support your favorite Chessboxer's personal expenses, or contribute towards our team expenses. As a team, we will hire a team doctor / PT, videographer, coaching staff, and matching competition gear. Our competition gear will be two kits, one white and one black, with warmups and sweats for those cutting weight together. If there is budget, we will also try to travel together in a travel set to bring the team vibe to the highest level, even en route to the competition.

It will cost each Chessboxer about $2,500 each to cover their travel, lodging, and competition fees. We'd love to give each boxer a $500 stipend to help with training costs, and use ~$10,000 for the general team expenses, like support staff, uniforms, and gear. Even if you can't contribute monetarily, please support by sharing our stories with a friend who'd like chessboxing, sending our information to potential sponsors, or simply engaging with the content we put out. It'd mean a lot!

Let's see how far this Team USA can go with YOU in our corner. Thank you for your support!
