Enthusiast Gaming Holdings Inc. (“Enthusiast Gaming” or the
“Company”) (TSX: EGLX), a leading gaming and media company, today
announced that Fantasy Football Scout, the UK’s leading fantasy
football advice service and a subsidiary of Enthusiast Gaming, has
entered into a partnership with the English Football League (the
“EFL”) to promote and support Fantasy EFL, a new fantasy game mode
launched by the EFL for the 2024/25 season.
Fantasy Football Scout has been dominating the
fantasy football market since 2009, with a mix of editorial
content, videos, data and tools, serving an audience of over 10
million a year via multiple media channels. The business already
has partnership agreements in place for fantasy games with many of
the largest football associations in the world, including the
Premier League (for Fantasy Premier League with 11M+ players) and
UEFA (Champions League and Euro 2024 Fantasy with 3.5M+ players),
as well as several leading clubs and other fantasy games. Adding
Fantasy EFL for the 2024/25 season will only strengthen this
dominant position in the market.
Formed in 1888, the EFL is the world’s original
league football competition and represents the largest single body
of professional clubs in European football. The new Fantasy EFL
game allows users to make selections from all 72 Member clubs
across the Championship, League One and League Two in a fresh and
exciting take on the fantasy format
(https://fantasy.efl.com/team).
The partnership involves the creation of
editorial content and tools to help inform Fantasy EFL players of
tactics and selections, which will feature on the official EFL
website (https://www.efl.com/), as well as extensive editorial,
video and marketing on Fantasy Football Scout’s multiple
channels.
“Fantasy Football Scout has always been a labour
of love, created by fantasy football fans for fantasy football fans
and our first mission is serving that incredible community,” said
Chris James, CEO of Fantasy Football Scout. “I have the pleasure of
working with the very best team in the business and serving a truly
global audience. The chance to work with the English Football
League, part of the fabric of life for hundreds of millions of fans
around the world, as well as work on a brand new exciting fantasy
game is an absolute privilege, about which we are all very
excited.”
