G2 Esports, one of the most prominent esports organizations in the world, is continuing its expansion and diversifying into new areas. However, this time, the company isn’t venturing into a new game, but rather taking a bold step into a completely different sector—football. This move marks a significant shift in the direction of G2 Esports, showing their ambition to become a global sports powerhouse.
The Birth of G2 Sports: A New Football Venture
On the occasion of its tenth anniversary, G2 Esports announced the creation of G2 Sports, its own football club. This venture will see G2 Esports competing in the Kings League of Germany, a prestigious competition that will feature eight teams vying for a chance to qualify for the Kings World Cup Clubs 2025, set to take place in France.
The top two teams from the tournament will secure their spots in the coveted World Cup, adding extra weight to this exciting initiative.
G2’s bold move into football marks the organization’s desire to diversify its brand, building upon its esports success and bringing that same level of passion, competition, and fan engagement to the world of football.

G2 Sports in the Kings League of Germany
The Kings League, known for its unique and high-energy format, is the perfect platform for G2 Esports to make its debut in the football scene. G2 Sports will be facing off against other competitive teams, showcasing their ability to adapt and thrive in an entirely new sporting environment.
The Kings League in Germany is part of a larger effort to grow esports and sports entertainment in the region, bringing a mix of gaming and traditional sports that resonates with a wide audience. With G2 Esports already being a global brand in the world of competitive gaming, their involvement in this league is expected to bring a fresh dynamic and exciting new chapter to the growing sports entertainment market.
The Leadership Behind G2 Sports
Although no players have been officially announced for the football team just yet, G2 Esports has already revealed key leadership figures for the squad. Ron Stublla will take on the role of Team Manager, bringing his extensive experience in sports management to ensure the team’s smooth operation and strategic development. Meanwhile, Malik Hadziavdic will serve as the head coach. Malik has a strong background in futsal and has been a member of the German National Futsal Team, which speaks to his depth of knowledge and expertise in the sport.
G2 Esports: From Esports to Mainstream Sports
Alban Dechelotte, CEO of G2 Esports, shared the vision for the company in a statement that reflects the ambitious goals of this new venture:
“When G2 was created 10 years ago, the dream was to build the ‘Real Madrid of esports. We wanted to be known as a disruptive brand that’s not only competitively successful, but also has a great personality that knows how to entertain and captivate our fans through storytelling and community building. Now, 10 years later, we are the ‘Real Madrid of esports’, so it’s time for us to go one step further and become the ‘G2 of sports’.”
This statement reinforces the long-term vision G2 Esports has for its brand. The ambition is not only to dominate the esports world but also to make a lasting impact in traditional sports. The move into football is the first major step in this direction, and it’s clear that G2 Esports is aiming to become a household name in mainstream sports, similar to what they have achieved in the esports arena.
