Besides the FIFA-related coaching, Team Gullit helps its players with combining education and gaming and teaches them how to build a personal brand on social media. Through this new partnership, the Team Gullit talent will have the opportunity to prove their skills in tournaments that feature the most prominent gaming titles in the world, with prizes ranging from high-end hardware to monetary rewards.
“Team Gullit has the ambition to become the world’s most renowned FIFA team.
