ALDI and Team Vitality want to see the French Bees players succeed in the competition. This company is proud to support esports development and has shown its willingness to help.

While more than half of gamers are women*, only 6% are professional esports players.
French Bees’ launch is an example of ALDI’s determination to be a partner in the esports industry and actively contribute to its development.
“We are proud to announce our first all-women team in Team Vitality. We will continue to promote talent through this academy project. “We hope this team will reach the finals and pave the way to the further development in women’s esports here in France,” says Fabien Neo Devide, president and co-founder at Team Vitality.
“Everyone has a place at esports. We support all the teams and want to help them succeed. The French Bees will also contribute to the visibility of women in esports and gaming. This sector is a favorite playground of younger generations. It can naturally act like a vector for parity within society and we are committed towards contributing to this movement,” Anne-Marie Gaultier (Marketing and Communication Director at ALDI France) says.
