UK esports organisation Semper Fortis (SMPR) Esports has moved into FIFA after signing UK players Jas Singh and Mitch.
They’ve both signed for one season with an option to renew for a further year, and will receive an annual salary and performance incentives.
“Our entry into FIFA esports is a significant strategic step,” said chief executive Kevin Soltani. “Professional FIFA esports has been fast growing. The game has always had a loyal following and huge player base, and from a competitive standpoint, it has been able to generate large audiences both on PC and console.”
Mitch previously represented Sheffield United in the Premier League’s esports tournaments and is an eLion, and Jas previously played for Chelsea and West Bromwich Albion in the ePremier League.
