The esports industry continues to thrive, with partnerships extending in exciting directions. Among these developments, FC Porto has taken a significant step by renewing its collaboration with LUNA Esports, a move that promises to keep both organizations at the forefront of the gaming scene.
FC Porto has renewed its existing partnership with Portuguese esports organisation LUNA Esports for another two seasons. This renewal ensures that FC Porto Luna eSports will compete in both men’s and women’s EA Sports FC tournaments, organized by the Portuguese Football Federation and Liga Portugal.
Honoring A Legacy
The updated agreement between FC Porto and LUNA Esports includes the release of a new jersey, marking a special tribute. This jersey bears a badge on the left sleeve in honor of LUNA Esports’ founder, Diogo Jota, who tragically passed away in July 2025. The jersey is available for purchase at the club’s online store, allowing fans to show their support while remembering a key figure in esports.
Jota, who established LUNA Esports in November 2020, rapidly positioned the organization as a force within Europe’s EA Sports FC ecosystem. His legacy continues with the team’s competitive success, including a second-place finish in the FPF Taça Masters 2025.
Portugal And Esports
Portugal’s role in the esports industry is expanding through various events and initiatives. FC Porto is one of several Portuguese football clubs diving into esports to connect with younger audiences. Benfica, another major club, entered the esports arena in 2020 and recently claimed victory in the FPF Taça Masters 2025.
In a broader context, the Portuguese Football Federation has partnered with UFL, a free-to-play football title, showcasing its capability to host both online and offline tournaments, highlighting Portugal’s commitment to growing its esports presence.
