Manchester United and Spanish national team’s goalkeeper David de Gea follows the footsteps of other football players including David Beckham with the creation of Rebels Gaming club. This project, which comes to culminate one of dreams of the Spanish international, goes beyond the participation with different professional teams in eSports leagues. 

Rebels Gaming brings together a team of great eSports professionals in various disciplines, such as sports strategy and tactics, marketing, content generation, entertainment and business development. “All of them, united by a nonconformist spirit and by the illusion of doing things in a different way to improve what is present and, always, with the values ​​of sport as the flag”, explained David de Gea in a statement. “The digital age and technology create a pitch in which developing new capacities and dreams is possible. We want Rebels Gaming to be one of the global reference clubs, not only because of its competitive level, but also because of its commitment to talent and the ability to inspire the youngest when looking for new opportunities and have a positive impact on society”, added David De Gea, whose love of videogames goes back years. The fact that eSports has become a professional activity makes this scenario the ideal environment to work on skills and attitudes that are especially valued in any field. “We want to enhance motivation, leadership, resilience, the management of situations of success, defeat and, above all, teamwork”, he pursued.
As of now, Rebels Gaming focuses on three competitions: League of Legends, Valorant and Rainbow 6.
