Team Vitality, a leading global esports organization and Lille Olympique Sporting Club LOSC, the 2021 French Football Champion and founding club for the eLigue 1 Uber Eats announced their renewed partnership for the season 2024. This renewed partnership has solidified the club’s dedication to excellence and brought together an impressive duo who will perform in the French EA SPORTS FC 24-scene. For the second year in a row, two French clubs will compete together for EA SPORTS FC Esports.
Ilian Bouchi was introduced by Team Vitality and LOSC eSports as the newest member of EA SPORTS FC 24, joining them from Team Vitality. Ilian Bouchi is a football enthusiast from the north part of France. He discovered his talent with FIFA games as a young child and was scouted soon after.
Ilian, who is known for his outstanding mechanics, quickly rose to the top of European football. Ilian will use his skills to help the club achieve its goal of dominating eLigue 1, Uber Eats, and sweeping the scene. Team Vitality’s and LOSC eSports’ commitment to recruiting young talent and staying at the forefront in competition is reflected by his arrival.
Ilian Bouchi stated: “I feel honoured to be a part of a team that is as prestigious and LOSC eSports. Rocky is a great player and it’s an honor to play with him. I followed his career as a youngster, and have seen how he has grown. As a LOSC fan, I am looking forward to the upcoming season as a representative of the club. I will try to get the team as high as possible.
Johann Simon (also known as Maniika) has been appointed as the coach of Team Vitality. He has over a decade’s experience playing FIFA games. He has also participated in multiple World Cups and won several titles, including eLigue 1 champion (2017) and Dreamhack champion (2016). This season marks the start of his new career as a coach. Olivier “NephaleM”, Morizet, will be the Team Manager for the entire year.
Johann “ManiiKa”, Simon, said: “I’m delighted to begin this new adventure. Especially for a large organisation like Team Vitality or a club such as LOSC!” I am excited to be working with this team and helping them to conquer eLigue1.
Like last year, both clubs want to be the best during the eLigue 1 Uber Eats in order to win the league and qualify for the FIFAe World Cup.
The Team Vitality x LOSC jersey will be worn by the team as a symbol for the collaboration. It is a red and white mixed jersey. The team will continue to train in Team Vitality’s V.Performance Bootcamp at the Stade de France. The team will have access to the prestigious Domaine de Luchin and LOSC headquarters.
“Signing LOSC a second time is a fantastic opportunity for both clubs. LOSC shares our vision for excellence in competition whether it is in esports, or traditional sports. “We can’t believe how well this duo will work together when the season begins,” Nicolas Maurer said, CEO & co-founder of Team Vitality.
After a successful year of collaboration, we’re thrilled to renew our partnership with Team Vitality. They are one Europe’s top esports organizations. LOSC is as ambitious as Team Vitality! We are all competitors and we strive to achieve our goals by combining strengths and values. We’re happy to welcome Ilian, Maniika and Rocky. “We wish them a successful season in EA Sports FC esports,” Olivier Letang said, President and CEO at LOSC.
