Jason Xu, CEO of Battlefy, commented on the announcement: “It’s really amazing to see the world of sports and esports coming together.

“I was an active kid growing up, playing soccer and badminton competitively. I learned a lot of life lessons on the field that I applied to playing esports and vice versa. Battlefy and Stack Sports have the opportunity to bring out the best of both worlds, and help kids continue to experience competition and sportsmanship in these trying times.”

Battlefy has already accumulated a range of clients from the sporting world, including the BundesligaTurner Sports and FIFA among others. As a result of these agreements, the partners have been able to use Battlefy’s platform to enhance their esports output. 

This includes being able to create, manage, and market competitions on the tournament platform, which can be used for a variety of titles and competitive formats.

“We intend to continue to invest in this space and offer sports organisations the very best tools available and we believe Battlefy will help us do that.”
