Strive Football Group's Innovative Approach: Integrating Esports with Professional Football Academies

The rapid growth of the digital space is transforming entertainment, art, and human interaction. Esports, with its tangible benefits for individuals and businesses, is propelling the sports industry into the digital realm, garnering global attention.

The intersections between sports and Esports are becoming increasingly prominent.

The connection between virtual and traditional sports opportunities is undeniable. Daily commitment to excellence, performance measurement, and comprehensive preparation are just a few shared attributes between Sports and Esports.

Strive x Esports

In April 2022, Strive was the main partner of Thonon Gaming Fest, a world-class Esports event, featuring innovative conferences and gaming tournaments such as Fortnite, FIFA 2022, Brawl Stars, and League of Legends.

It was the first time for Thonon to host such an event, and it served as a prelude to the creation of an Esports hub in the Lake Geneva region, where one of Strive Football Group’s Flagship Pro Academy is located: The ICEF Europe.

Over 2 days, the event featured international celebrities and speakers, professional gamers, and entrepreneurs in the Esports, entertainment and technology industries. A selection of ICEF Europe players even signed up to participate in the Esports tournament.
