Club Brugge's esports team is also making moves. In preparation for the ePro League, the Belgian competition in the former FIFA game, Club Brugge is calling upon the expertise of coach 'Frodo,' also known as Timo Maartense. He is tasked with taking the performances of Rudi Ekmen and Keanu Newa to an even higher level.

You may already know that the well-known football game FIFA underwent a name change to EAFC. But you might not be aware that Club Brugge is actively involved in it. For the third consecutive season, Rudi Ekmen is handling the controller, this season with the assistance of Keanu Newa. Ekmen has reached the semi-finals of the ePro League twice and has already made his mark internationally in the eChampions League.

Now, eClubBrugge is taking a new step in professionalization by enlisting an EAFC coach. Timo Maartense from the Netherlands, known in the gaming world as 'Frodo' and under contract with the agency 'Status Pro Sport,' will closely guide our two players in the upcoming season. Maartense has previously coached esports teams for clubs like Feyenoord, Benfica, Leeds United, and Manchester United.

"I am very pleased with this collaboration. As a coach, I have closely followed the development of Ekmen and Newa in recent years, and I am confident that I can elevate both players to an even higher level. The goal remains to secure the first Bruges national title in EAFC," emphasizes 'Frodo.'
