“We’re very excited to form this partnership with Turtle Beach as the Club expands its esports strategy,” said Damian Willoughby, Senior Vice President of Partnerships at Manchester City. “Both Marcus and Kai are at the top of their game and watching them compete throughout the season has been great, culminating in their qualification to the FIFA eWorld Cup. We are looking forward to working with Turtle Beach and their high-quality equipment to enhance gaming experiences for our players.”
