After all NBA league teams joined the NBA2K League, Club Lyon in Ligue 1 officially joined the FIFA Online3 e-sports league. The model of traditional sports combined with e-sports games is being adopted by more and more manufacturers, and sports games may become a new favorite in e-sports.

The FIFA Online3 E-Sports League is authorized by FIFA and operated exclusively by Tencent. It is currently the highest-level professional event in FIFA in the mainland of China and the only channel for the China competition area to the AsianCup Asian Championship. It has grown to a total of 12 e-sports clubs and 57 professional players participating.

Harry Moyal, deputy general manager of Lyon Club, said that the establishment of Lyon's China e-sports team in China and joining Tencent's FIFA ONLINE 3 professional league are mainly due to their optimism about China's e-sports market and football market, and hope to further expand the club's commercial value with Lyon's influence and Tencent's operations.

Since the NBA announced a cooperation with the NBA2K League in February, the traditional sports + e-sports model has begun to attract attention. Since then, well-known sports clubs such as Barcelona in La Liga and Frankfurt in the Bundesliga have begun to form their own e-sports departments.

Previously, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick once said that the competitive nature and event system of sports games themselves have reduced the difficulty of developing the e-sports business. At the same time, the audience of competitive sports events and e-sports events also has a high degree of overlap. Sports games will become the new favorite of e-sports after MOBA and chess and cards.
