“Football and video games share a common spirit—joy,” says Yeray Sánchez, CEO of E-Sports at UD Las Palmas. The club, known for its professional esports teams, has been investing in digital sports for six years. Sánchez explains their efforts: “We’ve created an academy where young players can train, develop their skills, and potentially become the next stars of the esports world.”

CD Tenerife, guided by Artamy Rodríguez, sees their participation as an invitation for other Spanish soccer clubs to invest in esports. “We believe this event is a turning point,” Rodríguez shares. “It’s an opportunity to show that esports can grow alongside traditional sports, creating new opportunities for clubs, players, and fans.”
