Konami og eFootball.Pro afholder en større fodboldturnering i fremtiden, og nu ved vi at den store fodboldgigant, FC Barcelona, bliver den første klub der slutter sig til eSportsligaen. Det betyder at de stiller op med et professionelt hold.
"Barça is attentive to what is happening in this global and technological world, and given the major penetration and growth of esports, is on the path to also becoming a leader in this field. FC Barcelona, in keeping with its innovative spirit, has decided to participate in a pioneering competition in the world of esports, alongside the finest partners, Konami and eFootball.Pro. We are sure that this competition will continue to make Barça members and fans that follow esports around the world very proud'. The professionals that form the blaugrana esports team will challenge their opponents using the KONAMI football video game series." siger Manel Arroyo, der er FC Barcelonas vicepræsident for marketing og medier.
Dette er det første vigtige skridt for ligaen, og det forventes at flere hold meget snart vil følge trop og afsløre deres deltagelse.
