It’s a terrific opportunity for fans to get involved with their favourite sport and compete with their friends and other players from all around the world. I’ve observed my younger relatives and friends’ love for esports, and I feel it helps gamers get more familiar with different sports, teams, and athletes from a young age,” said Luis Garcia, LaLiga Ambassador and ex-FC Barcelona player.

“The emergence of esports has helped to improve sporting fandom, and the eLaLiga Trophy will give the sports and gaming enthusiasts in India a much-needed boost,” he added.
