Starting today, the Copa Alexia x Céline event hosted by World Cup Alexia Putellas and influencer football mega-fan Celine Dept begins. During this event, players will join Team Alexia or Team Celine in a virtual tournament for bragging rights and prizes.

Alexia Putellas said the following:

“Matchday is elevating two things I am very passionate about: women’s football and inclusivity. Women’s football has been on the rise for the last decade, and Matchday’s co-gender football squads represent this reality in a fun and novel way for fans. 

I am honored to be a part of and shape a (virtual) football world that gives men and women truly equal footing. I hope the sort of representation we see in Matchday’s games will inspire the women’s football stars and all football fans of tomorrow, and help to drive forward conversations around equality.”

Matchday Co-Founder and Chief Gaming Officer Sebastien de Halleux added:

“Football is an emotional experience for its five billion fans worldwide, and now they will be able to experience the drama of the sport in a video game that can seamlessly simulate games based on real players, real stats, and more.

Few players have experienced the emotional highs of football like Alexia Putellas, winning a World Cup, three UEFA Women’s Champion Leagues, and 21 domestic trophies, along with all of her incredible individual accolades, so we’re honored that she has joined us not only as a Matchday ambassador but as the host of our first global in-game tournament.”

With more than two million people already pre-registered ahead of launch, Matchday Champions is now available in early access globally for both iOS and Android devices.
