Real Madrid superstar launches eSports organisation

Nowadays, footballers are not always 100% focused on their careers, and many have turned their hobbies into 'side gigs'. The latest high-profile player to do so is Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who unveiled his own eSports organization earlier this week.

TC Esports, led by Courtois, was made official this week. The organization will mainly focus on virtual motorsport, one of the Belgian international's passions in his spare time. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he was involved in a series of online races with Formula 1 drivers such as Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris. .

According to MD, the 32-year-old has spoken about the announcement.

“I have always wanted to have my own esports team, because sim racing can also open doors in the world of motorsports and it is something we also want to focus on at TC Racing.”

Courtois' priority will remain Real Madrid, although he will also focus heavily on this venture.
