Club Brugge's esports team is not standing still either. In the run-up to the ePro League, the Belgian competition in the former FIFA, Blauw-Zwart is calling on the expertise of coach 'Frodo' or Timo Maartense. He has to lift the performances of Rudi Ekmen & Keanu Newa to an even higher level.

That the well-known soccer game FIFA was renamed EAFC, you may already have known. But that Club Brugge is also actively playing it, that perhaps not yet. For the third year in a row, Rudi Ekmen is operating the controller, assisted this season by Keanu Newa. Ekmen has twice reached the semifinals of the ePro League and has also made his mark internationally in the eChampions League.

Now eClubBrugge is taking a new step in professionalization and is calling on an EAFC coach. The Dutch Timo Maartense, known in the world as 'Frodo' and under contract with the agency 'Status Pro Sport', will closely guide our two players in the coming season. Maartense has coached esports teams such as Feyenoord, Benfica, Leeds United & Manchester United in the past.

"I am very happy with this cooperation. As a coach, I have followed the development of Ekmen and Newa very closely in recent years and I am convinced that I can take both players to an even higher level. The goal remains to ensure a first Bruges national title in EAFC," stressed 'Frodo'.
