Wolves Esports announced Friday that it has partnered with Luna Esports to compete in EA Sports FC’s ePremier League in the UK.
Financial terms (if any) were not disclosed.
Diogo “Diogo” Mendes and Goncalo “RastaArtur” Pinto, the two players representing Wolves, are both members of Luna Esports, the Portuguese esports organization founded by footballer Diogo Jota in 2020. The organization, originally named Diogo Jota Esports, was rebranded to Luna Esports in 2023.
“I’m proud to make my debut in the ePL this season,” Pinto said. “Wolves is a club I feel a genuine affection for, and I’m excited to represent it with all my commitment. Reuniting with Diogo Mendes brings extra motivation, especially because of his character and personality. There’s also a special connection through Luna Esports. It’s Diogo Jota’s esports team and the club where he first made his name and that means a lot to us.”
The ePremier League group stage takes place Feb. 28 – March 1.
