Manchester City esports partners with Turtle Beach

Gaming headset brand Turtle Beach has a lot of esports deals already, and now they've signed another with English football club Manchester City FC, meaning they're official esports and gaming headset partner for the club's esports division. As a result, pro players representing Manchester City (two FIFA 18 players) will be using their headsets, as well as other accessories.

"As the leading brand in gaming audio we're thrilled to team-up with the Premier League Champions. No matter what the game, competitive play is about total immersion, and that is what the Manchester City players can expect from our Elite Pro series," said Juergen Stark, CEO of Turtle Beach Corporation. "Manchester City is a truly global brand and while their esports endeavors are just beginning, we're ready to embark on the journey with them to help achieve even more success, both on the virtual pitch and off."

The FIFA eWorld Cup Final is already underway at the O2 Arena in London, where both City players are competing, so it seems like there's good news all round for the esports division.

"We're very excited to form this partnership with Turtle Beach as the Club expands its esports strategy," said Damian Willoughby, Senior Vice President of Partnerships at Manchester City. "Both Marcus and Kai are at the top of their game and watching them compete throughout the season has been great, culminating in their qualification to the FIFA eWorld Cup. We are looking forward to working with Turtle Beach and their high-quality equipment to enhance gaming experiences for our players."
