How to Add Friends on FACEIT (2025 Guide)
•
FACEIT matchmaking rewards coordinated squads. Adding friends is the first step toward a stable roster, quicker queues, and a higher win rate. Use the workflows below to connect with teammates, import Steam friends, and keep unwanted invites away.
At-a-glance options
| Action | Where | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Add by username | FACEIT → Friends | Fast when you know the exact nickname |
| Import via Steam | Settings → Connections | Auto-detect friends who already play FACEIT |
| Invite from match room | Match lobby sidebar | Lock in teammates immediately after a win |
| Privacy management | Settings → Privacy | Block spam requests or restrict strangers |
Method A — Add by FACEIT username
- Log in at
https://www.faceit.com/. - Click your avatar → Friends → Add friend.
- Type the exact FACEIT username (case-sensitive) and press Send request.
- Once accepted, invite them to your party or add them to a clan.
Tip: Copy usernames from FCTracker to preserve special characters and avoid typos.
Method B — Import friends via Steam sync
- Open Settings → Connections in FACEIT.
- Link your Steam account and toggle Allow Steam friends to find me.
- Click Sync. Friends who play FACEIT appear under Pending.
Reminder: Steam profiles must be set to Friends/Public visibility. Private accounts cannot be imported.
Method C — Add teammates straight from a match
- After the match, stay in the results lobby.
- Hover a teammate’s card and click Add friend.
- Send a short message (“GG — queue again?”) to improve acceptance.
Troubleshooting & limits
- Daily limit: roughly 15 outgoing requests per 24 hours.
- Request vanished? Pending invites expire after 14 days or if the recipient blocks invites.
- Cross-region issues: both players must enable “Allow friend requests from all regions.”
- Spam control: Settings → Privacy lets you restrict invites to friends-of-friends or disable them entirely.
Manage your FACEIT roster
- Create Groups for scrim partners versus casual friends.
- Drag friends into your lobby to see average Elo before queuing.
- Use clans for long-term teams—clan chat is perfect for match scheduling.
- Archive inactive players every season to keep the list tidy.

FAQ
- My friend request disappeared — what happened?
- FACEIT auto-clears pending invites after 14 days or when privacy rules block them. Resend once the user toggles invites back on.
- Can I stop strangers from adding me?
- Yes. Go to Settings → Privacy → Friend Requests and choose “Friends of friends” or “No one.”
- Does removing a friend kick them from my clan?
- No, but they will lose instant party invites until you add them again.
- Is there a mobile workflow?
- The FACEIT iOS/Android apps mirror the same menu path: Profile → Friends → Add.
