Paris Saint-Germain and Tundra Esports team up on the Rocket League game

With the ambition to be among the world's best and to achieve results together in long-term championships, PSG Tundra will leverage the growing awareness of the Paris Saint-Germain brand in the world of video games and the unique expertise of Tundra Esports in esports performance and content creation to develop a highly engaged fan community.

The aim of the collaboration is to create a competitive team, capable of winning every competition it enters, but also a brand that is close to its fans' interests. Full details of the team, including players and coach, will be announced shortly.

Considered one of the most technically challenging video games, Rocket League quickly became a sensation in Esports. Released in July 2015, this mix of football and driving is played by nearly 100 million people worldwide each month, a sign of its success with gaming and football fans.

Fabien Allègre, Paris Saint-Germain's brand director, said: "We are delighted to be returning to Rocket League, one of the most popular games in the world. We look forward to seeing the PSG Tundra team triumph. In putting together this team, Paris Saint-Germain is keen to capitalise on its presence in Europe and to continue its expansion there. Thanks to the PSG Tundra team, the Club now has 7 Esports teams."

Tundra Esports was formed in 2019 with the ambition to bring together the best Esports talent from around the world. Winning numerous titles on various games (Dota 2, FIFA and Fortnite), the UK organisation has developed a significant international reputation through the championships it competes in and represents the go-to organisation on the international stage.

Tundra Esports' Executive Chairman and Interim Managing Director said: "We are delighted to be partnering with France's elite team Paris Saint-Germain. PSG shares the same values as we do at Tundra, with a vision beyond competitive gaming by offering fans a unique and unforgettable experience through gaming culture, art and music! We can't wait to see what this team will accomplish."

Winners of major tournaments on the Rocket League professional calendar, notably through their success in 2018 at DreamHack Leipzig and in 2019 at DreamHack Valencia, Paris Saint-Germain Esports is making its return to the licence and setting out to conquer new titles in the American game's competitions.
