DNA FC backed by Ntesports
Ntesports is delighted to announce that we have become the Founding Partner of DNA FC, a new competitive EA SPORTS FC Pro Clubs organisation launching ahead of FC27.
The partnership represents the latest addition to our growing grassroots sponsorship programme and gives us an opportunity to do something particularly exciting: support an esports organisation right from the beginning of its journey.
DNA FC has been created by an experienced group of players with an established history competing together across the UK and European Pro Clubs scene. During FC26, members of the group reached the final of the UK Season 2 Pro Series Cup, securing qualification for the UK Pro Series LAN event in Sheffield.
That experience became an important catalyst for what came next.
Following the LAN, the group reflected on what they wanted from competitive esports and how they could build something more professional, competitive and sustainable.
The result is DNA FC.
Community. Professionalism. Competitiveness.
DNA has been created around three core principles: community, professionalism and competitiveness.
The name itself reflects the ambition for those principles to become part of the DNA of the organisation – influencing everything from its style of play and competitive standards to how players treat one another and how the club represents itself publicly.
That philosophy immediately resonated with us at Ntesports.
Grassroots esports organisations are often built through huge amounts of voluntary work, passion and commitment. Creating a competitive team is one thing; developing the structures, identity and culture that allow an organisation to remain sustainable over time is something very different.
It is that longer-term ambition that makes DNA FC particularly interesting.
Experience Meets the Next Generation
DNA is managed by Conor, Antony and Tony, three Pro Clubs veterans with extensive experience of the competitive scene.
Having experienced both the successes and challenges that come with competitive esports, they want to use that knowledge to build something designed to last rather than simply assembling a strong roster for a single season.
The squad follows the same philosophy.
DNA brings together experienced Pro Clubs competitors with younger and developing players, primarily from across the UK and Ireland alongside players from Western Europe.
The intention is to retain the experience and standards required to compete at a high level while creating opportunities for newer members to develop within an established system.
Again, that aligns strongly with what we believe at Ntesports: experience becomes considerably more valuable when it is shared with the next generation.
More Than Sponsorship
Becoming the Founding Partner gives Ntesports an opportunity to support DNA FC as the organisation develops its identity, community and competitive ambitions.
As with our other grassroots partnerships, we want that relationship to mean more than simply placing an Ntesports logo on a shirt or social media graphic.
Where our experience, network, advice or connections can help, we want to contribute.
Ntesports Managing Director Nik Turner said:
“There’s something particularly exciting about supporting an organisation from day one. DNA already has experienced people, competitive pedigree and a very clear idea of the culture it wants to create. What impressed me was that they aren’t simply talking about putting together a team that can win matches – they’re thinking about community, professionalism and how they build something sustainable. Those values align incredibly well with Ntesports, so becoming the Founding Partner felt like a great fit.”
The DNA FC management team added:
“Having Ntesports join us as the Founding Partner is a fantastic way to begin the DNA journey. We’re trying to build something with strong foundations and a long-term future, so having the support of an organisation with Ntesports’ experience across esports, education and grassroots development is hugely valuable. We’re excited to have them alongside us from the very beginning.”
More Than Sponsorship
The announcement continues what has become an important part of the Ntesports philosophy.
We already support CZY Esports in Kenya, TakeBackControl in Chicago and CTRL Esports in the UK, while our recent partnership with Aldershot Boys & Girls FC U16 Girls saw us take our grassroots commitment beyond esports and into traditional sport for the first time.
Each organisation is very different.
But the reason we support them is remarkably similar.
We believe in grassroots development, creating opportunities, sharing experience and backing people who are trying to build something positive.
With DNA FC, we have the opportunity to be there from the start.
New club. New identity. New season.
And we’re incredibly proud to be THE organisation helping put the foundations in place.
Welcome to the Ntesports family, DNA FC. 🎮🧬
