  • LOSC (Lille Olympique Sporting Club) and Team Vitality are extending their EA FC Esports partnership for the third consecutive season
  • The roster will be made up of young French talents Ilian Bouchi (19) and Brice Masson (20), who will be coached by Johann ‘ManiiKa’ Simon, who also renews his contract with Team Vitality
  • Together, ambitious goals have already been established for the 2024/25 season, aiming to win the highly coveted and anticipated eLigue 1 McDonald’s at the domestic level, and qualify for the 2025 Esports World Cup at the international level.

French sports club Lille Olympique Sporting Club (LOSC) and leading esports organisation Team Vitality are excited to announce the renewal of their partnership for the third season running. The partnership for the 2024/25 season will be centered around their star EA FC 25 (EA Sports) roster, with both clubs united by their shared values of ambition and success.

A RENEWED COMMITMENT TOWARDS EXCELLENCE

The two clubs are back on the virtual football stage, joining forces again for a third season in eLigue 1. With a strong team lineup and improved training conditions, the goals are higher than ever.

The team will continue using the world-class training facilities, alternating between home sessions and bootcamps at Team Vitality’s V.Performance centre at the Stade de France. They will also have exclusive access to Domaine de Luchin, LOSC’s state-of-the-art training centre, and the opportunity to attend Lille club matches.

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.

GambleAware Statement on the New Statutory Gambling Harms System and the Future of the Charity

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

The transition to the new statutory gambling harms system is well underway and ahead of this process reaching completion on 1 April 2026, GambleAware’s Chair of trustees, Andy Boucher, and Baroness Twycross, the Minister for Gambling, have issued the following statements:

Andy Boucher, Chair of trustees, GambleAware has said: “The introduction of the new statutory levy and the appointment of the three new commissioners for gambling harms research, prevention and treatment means that, as expected, the work historically delivered by GambleAware will now transition to the UK government and new commissioners across England, Scotland and Wales. We have advocated for the introduction of a statutory system for many years and are proud of our contribution to its implementation. Alongside this, we are also proud of the impact GambleAware’s prevention and treatment activity has had in supporting tens of thousands of people over the years, through our national campaigns and our commissioned partners, including the National Gambling Support Network. Recognising the change across the system, trustees have decided that GambleAware, the charity, will work towards a managed closure by 31 March 2026.

“We remain committed to fulfilling existing commissioning agreements until the new system is in place by April 2026. Our main priority continues to be keeping people safe from gambling harm and to ensure stability and continuity for our beneficiaries as the new commissioners take over. The GambleAware website and critical prevention resources continue to provide accessible support for all.

“Over the years, GambleAware and many third-sector partners have worked closely with the lived experience community to deliver a range of effective, evidence-based services. The National Gambling Support Network has been a cornerstone of this effort, supporting thousands of people annually. GambleAware’s national prevention programmes have also provided crucial advice, tools and support to millions of people in order to reduce gambling harm. Myself and other trustees are incredibly proud of the successful work that has been delivered over the years and the impact it has had across Great Britain.

“Since 2017, GambleAware has championed the development of a statutory, public health-led system to address gambling harm. We welcome this new era in which gambling harms are recognised alongside other public health issues and are funded through a statutory levy. As we enter the final phase of our commissioning work, we urge NHS England, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, UK Research and Innovation, and the appropriate bodies in Scotland and Wales to build upon the current system’s achievements and insights to ensure learnings are carried forward.

“On behalf of the entire Board of trustees, I would like to also recognise the unwavering commitment and drive of the GambleAware staff, leadership team and Lived Experience Council. Their collective work over the years has played a pivotal role in advancing efforts to reduce and prevent harm across Great Britain.”

Minister for Gambling, Baroness Twycross, said: “GambleAware and others across the third sector, including the National Gambling Support Network, have worked with tireless commitment over the years to commission and deliver effective services for people experiencing gambling-related harm.

“As the new statutory gambling levy system comes into effect, managing a smooth and stable transition is an absolute priority, and we are taking significant steps to maintain service provision. The new levy system will build on the successes of the current system to improve and expand efforts to further understand, tackle and treat harmful gambling.

“I want to thank GambleAware and all their staff for their efforts to support those in need across our country.”
