Team Vitality and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG Esports) have announced a multi-year collaboration, forming a new EA FC roster under the PSG.Vitality tag. The team will feature rising French players Ilian Bouchi and Brice Masson, alongside head coach Johann ‘ManiiKa’ Simon.
The roster will debut at the EA Sports‘ FC Pro Open on 22 September, aiming to compete at the highest level of the EA FC professional circuit.

For fans in Paris, the partnership holds particular appeal: both organisations are deeply rooted in the city. That local connection is likely to resonate with supporters who identify with PSG’s football history as well as with Vitality’s premier esports profile.
Ahead of the season, Vitality unveiled an alternate jersey that somehow foreshadowed the partnership announcement, predominantly white with red and blue accents, bearing a logo resembling PSG’s iconic football crest.
The move marks a further step in PSG’s esports journey, which began in 2016, as the club continues to expand its presence beyond traditional football. The team also partners with Talon Esports to form PSG Talon, competing in the League of Legends scene.
