The Celtic eSports league matches the top gamers from the UK and Ireland with professional football clubs in a Community Cup which will last for one week starting December 12, with a full league competition starting in January 2017.
Wolves are delighted be involved in this inaugural competition and have former winger Rohan Ricketts, representing the club. eSports is an exciting new opportunity for us to engage with a younger audience who consume football in a different way. Hopefully fans will get behind Rohan and support him in the competition!
