It’s a day of big news for Spanish esports. Not only did the LVP sign a merge with Mediapro (apparently an investment of €4.6 million), but at least six different football clubs manifested their will to expand into esports.

Sevilla Fútbol Club, Villarreal CF, Real Aviles C.F., Real Sociedad, Real Zaragoza, and Real Sporting de Gijón all tweeted between yesterday and today that they have esports plans coming soon.

Those tweets, while not giving much more information, all point out to tomorrow, when an announcement should be made during the Barcelona Games World convention. It looks very much like the LFP esports league, which we wrote about mid-July, is about to be announced.

It is yet another big step for the evolution of console esports, and especially football simulations that remained far behind its potential for a long time now.

These clubs add up to our timeline of sports clubs in esports which now counts 23. They quickly follow French top team PSG announcing a partnership with Webedia for its esports team.
