In addition, the “French Bees” team will proudly wear the new Hummel jersey in the Team Vitality colors, which will include an ALDI promotion.

Team Vitality and ALDI wish to take the French Bees players as far as possible in the competition. The company’s support shows its desire to be an active partner in esports and its development. ALDI and Team Vitality are proud to unveil Team Vitality’s first women’s roster, and are committed to supporting the engagement of more women in the professional scene, as whilst more than 50% of gamers are women, only 6% of professional esports players are female*.

This launch of French Bees is a reminder of ALDI’s ambition to position itself as a committed partner in the esports sector and to actively participate in its development.

We are very proud to present our first all-women team within Team Vitality. Through this new academy project, we remain faithful to our strategy of identifying, developing and promoting talent. We hope that this team will go as far as possible in the competition and help pave the way for the further development of women’s esports in France“, says Fabien “Neo” Devide, President and co-founder of Team Vitality.

There is no doubt that everyone has a place in esports, regardless of gender, age or status. As for the other teams we support, we want to work to encourage all profiles to accomplish themselves and the French Bees will thus contribute to shedding light on the place of women in esport and more broadly, in gaming! This sector is one of the favorite playgrounds of the younger generations, it can naturally act as a vector for progress in terms of parity within society, and we are committed to contributing to this movement“, explains Anne-Marie Gaultier, Marketing and Communication Director at ALDI France.
