For LOSC, whose real-world football team is currently competing for a spot in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League, the partnership with Team Vitality ensures continued participation in an official Professional Football League competition this season. The global appeal of EA FC25, one of the most widely consumed cultural products worldwide, provides unparalleled visibility for the club, its players, and its partners.
The goals are clear for both clubs: to secure their first national eLigue 1 McDonald’s title, and to win their first international competition. The players will also be aiming to qualify for the 2025 Esports World Cup, now a flagship event on the global stage.
“Extending our partnership with LOSC for a third season is a true source of pride. It reflects our shared vision and commitment to pushing the boundaries between traditional sports and esports. Together, we’re investing in rising domestic talents like Ilian and Brice, and this new season promises exciting opportunities for our players and clubs, both in France, and internationally. We’re ready to seize these winning opportunities!” explains Nicolas Maurer, Co-Founder and CEO of Team Vitality.
“It’s a pleasure to announce the renewal of the partnership between LOSC and Team Vitality, one of Europe’s leading esports organisations, as we bring our drive for victory to the virtual pitch of EA Sports FC once again. It’s in the DNA of LOSC to never give up and perform to our maximum potential, and I wish our LOSC esports team the very best as they represent the colours and values of Les Dogues!” Olivier Létang, CEO of LOSC
A YOUNG TEAM, DETERMINED TO SEEK VICTORY
The LOSC and Team Vitality roster consists of two prodigal French talents: Ilian Bouchi and Brice Masson. Despite their youth, both bring immense energy and motivation to the team. Under the guidance of coach ManiiKa, the players are ready to dominate the highest level, embodying the spirit and values of both clubs.
Full Roster
- Ilian Bouchi (19 years old) is an explosive young talent who joins Team Vitality for the second consecutive year. Ilian stands out for his unique playstyle and impressive performances in the circuit. At the end of the 2023/24 season, he was awarded Rookie of the Year at the eLigue 1 awards, earmarking him as a rising star.
- Brice Masson (20 years old) joined Team Vitality at the end of last season, after playing for Clermont Foot. Brice brings a strategic and controlled style of play, contrasting Ilian’s approach. On the national stage, Brice already has an eCoupe de France to his name, as well as reaching the eLigue 1 Uber Eats semi-final in 2024.
- Johann “ManiiKa” Simon (30 years old, Coach) returns for the new season! A talented and respected former player on the scene, he has since become an experienced coach with a deep understanding of competitive play. ManiiKa will be eager to guide the players towards success in his second year in the LOSC and Team Vitality colours.
