Esports Entertainment Group has announced that its online tournament provider, broadcaster, and event organiser Esports Gaming League (EGL) will manage the Pro Evolution Soccer team belonging to English football club Arsenal FC.

The team will be participating in the third season of the eFootball League alongside nine other clubs.
