West Ham United’s FIFA17 player Sean ‘Dragonn’ Allen will take on some of the top eSports talent when he heads to Poland to play for the Legia FIFA17 Cup in November.
Dragonn will come up against players from Manchester City, Paris St Germain, Wolfsburg, Schalke 04, Valencia, Ajax and host club Legia Warsaw for the right to be crowned champion.
The Hammers have led the way in the development of eSports in the UK, being the first British club to sign a FIFA player when Dragonn signed up towards the end of the 2015/16 season.
Since then the Club hosted the first ever eSports tournament between pro clubs, with Dragonn looking to go one better than his final appearance at London Stadium when he competes in Poland.
Dragonn was the 2016 FIFA Interactive World Cup runner-up, coming so close to landing the title against Denmark’s Mohamad Al-Bacha, and is now on the road to booking his place at the 2017 finals – to be held in London next year.
He has an early chance to steal a march on his pro club rivals in Poland on 5 and 6 November – and you will be able to follow his progress on whufc.com and the Club’s social media channels.
