As reported by the sports daily Récord, Pachuca has announced that it wants to have “the best basic strengths of players in the country”.

An interesting alliance with PSG
To achieve this, Pachuca will offer different courses for players at the Football University. They are also looking to build a player’s house. To do all this, they will have the advice of PSG, a French team that has already invested considerable resources in the competitive game scene. In case you didn’t know, since 2016, the Parisian team has participated in League of Legends, FIFA and Brawl Stars competitions.
“For a year we started planning the project, we looked for different teams that already had an eSports division to advise us and the first one that responded to us was PSG,” Marines said.

With the help of PSG, Pachuca learned important things, such as the method of recruiting players from different countries or which games they should participate in. So it seems they want to take advantage of PSG’s experience to be able to get ahead of other esports teams in the region.
Pachuca has been working in esports for some time
It is important to note that Pachuca announced almost 2 years ago his intention to enter the competitive gaming world. Their first steps in the competitive gaming world were slow, but in recent months they have picked up the pace.
In fact, Pachuca already has 25 professional players competing in titles such as League of Legends; Call of Duty; Rainbow Six Siege; Fortnite, Clash Royale and of course FIFA. It is the latter in the only one to compete in an official league; moreover, they broadcast live on their social channels.

It should be noted that Pachuca chose these games as the right ones to take his first steps in the world of esports after a survey on social networks. We wouldn’t be surprised if they later decided to take part in other competitions, such as Rocket League or Free Fire.
