Bigben and Bayer 04 Leverkusen Launch Gaming and Esports Partnership

Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Bigben have announced a partnership in the gaming and esports sector. The club will be equipped with Nacon and RIG branded products in future.

Bigben and Bayer 04 Leverkusen are collaborating in gaming and esports. From October onwards, Bigben will be supporting the club, particularly with regard to hardware and equipment, such as RIG headsets and Nacon Revolution 5 Pro controllers.

"We are delighted to be working with Bayer 04 Leverkusen as their equipment partner. This allows us to support esports once again, and the club's long-standing presence in this field and its achievements make this partnership particularly exciting," says Axel Florizoone, Managing Director of Bigben Interactive GmbH.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen has been involved in esports since 2017, aiming to bridge the gap between real football and the virtual playing field. Marc Fiedler, Manager of Product Management B2B & eSports at Bayer 04 Leverkusen, says, "We are delighted to welcome back Bigben, an old acquaintance, as a partner of #B04eSports. For the new season, the Nacon brand will be the official gaming hardware partner of esports under the Bayer cross and will support our players in achieving peak performance on the virtual pitch. Together with Bigben, we want to optimise the gaming experience for our esports players and our community. We are excited about the collaboration and look forward to the joint projects."
