China Football Super League to invest $15 million in football managers
The Chinese Football Super League (CSL) announced its intention to invest $15 million in the creation of online games in the football manager genre over 6 years.
The Beijing company Crazy Sports will develop titles. She previously owned an online lottery platform until the Chinese government banned this type of activity in 2015.
Crazy Sports CEO Peng Xitao believes that by 2020, sports games can earn up to $150 million and spread to an audience of 100 million people, which includes both Chinese fans and Western football fans.
The ultimate goal of this project is to provide CSL with another permanent source of income through video games.
At the end of July, Crazy Sports entered into a strategic partnership with the British Soccer Manager gaming platform, specializing in football managers.
The first games about football clubs in China should be launched this fall.
