Sponsorship
About ZMS
For us, sponsorship is about more than placing a logo on a jersey.
Ntesports supports grassroots esports organisations through a combination of financial backing, mentorship, business advice, and industry connections. We are passionate about helping ambitious teams and community leaders build sustainable organisations that can make a lasting impact on the players and communities they serve. Whether it's supporting emerging organisations in the UK, North America, or Africa, our goal remains the same: to help grassroots esports thrive
Sponsorship Opportunities
For Grassroots Esports
Our commitment to grassroots esports extends beyond sponsoring organisations. Ntesports regularly supports school, college, university, and community esports events through prize donations, guest speakers, judging panels, workshops, and industry talks. Whether it’s helping to reward student achievement, sharing industry knowledge, or creating memorable experiences for participants, we are passionate about giving back to the esports community and helping the next generation of players, creators, and industry professionals discover new opportunities.
What's Included
IMAPACTFUL INTERNATIONAL SPONSORHIPS
United Kingdom
CTRL Esports
CTRL Esports holds a special place in the Ntesports sponsorship story as the very first organisation we chose to support. Founded by former Queen Mary’s College students, CTRL was originally pitched to us as part of their course over six years ago. The passion, ambition, and professionalism shown by the team stood out immediately, and Ntesports has proudly supported them ever since.
Over the years, CTRL Esports has grown into a respected grassroots organisation within the UK esports scene, demonstrating how dedication, strong leadership, and community focus can create long-term success. In 2026, the organisation celebrated one of its most successful years to date, with its Valorant roster winning EPIC.LAN and its Counter-Strike roster securing an impressive third-place finish. Their journey is a fantastic example of what can be achieved when talent, hard work, and the right support come together.

Take Back Control
Take Back Control (TBC) is one of the most inspiring organisations we have had the privilege to support. Based on the South Side of Chicago, the organisation was founded by Travis while he was just 15 years old, driven by a passion for esports and a desire to create opportunities within his community.
Ntesports began sponsoring Take Back Control in 2023, and it has been a pleasure to watch the organisation grow. We was fortunate enough to visit Chicago and meet Travis in person, gaining first-hand insight into the dedication and hard work behind the project. Balancing his education alongside the demands of running an esports organisation has been no small task, yet TBC continues to go from strength to strength.
A testament to that commitment is the organisation’s latest achievement, with Take Back Control set to compete at the 2026 Pokémon World Championships in Orlando, Florida. Their journey demonstrates how passion, perseverance, and community spirit can create opportunities that reach far beyond local boundaries.
Kenya
CZY Esports
Founded by former professional Fortnite player Allan “Serge” Kimani, CZY Esports is one of the leading grassroots esports organisations in East Africa. Ntesports began sponsoring CZY in 2024, recognising both the organisation’s strong reputation within the African gaming community and its ambition to create long-term opportunities for players and young people.
Our support has focused not only on financial sponsorship but also on helping the organisation develop a sustainable business model that can support future growth which has helped CZY enjoy a number of high profile tournament wins. Following a visit to Nairobi in 2026, the partnership has continued to strengthen, with CZY securing two significant new strategic partnerships and expanding its reach within the region.
Today, our relationship goes beyond sponsorship, with both organisations working together to develop educational programmes that will help connect esports, skills development, and career opportunities for young people across Kenya and beyond.
CZY’s continued growth demonstrates the power of combining passion, vision, and collaboration to create meaningful impact through esports.

beyond esports! Aldershot Girls FC U16
Aldershot Girls FC U16 represents a new chapter in the Ntesports sponsorship journey, taking our commitment to grassroots development beyond esports and into traditional sport. Our support for the team began for the 2026/27 season, providing brand-new home and away kits and helping a local group of young players continue doing something they love.
While football and esports may appear very different, we believe they share many of the same values. Teamwork, communication, resilience, competition, confidence and a sense of belonging are fundamental to both. Supporting the girls therefore fits perfectly with our wider philosophy of creating opportunities for young people and investing in grassroots communities.
We are particularly proud that our first sponsorship outside esports supports girls’ football. Inspired by the continued growth of the women’s game and the incredible achievements of the Lionesses, we want to play our own small part in supporting the next generation. Whether competition takes place on a screen or on a football pitch, our philosophy remains the same: support grassroots, create opportunities and help young people thrive.

DNA FC
DNA FC represents an exciting new chapter in the Ntesports grassroots sponsorship programme. Ahead of FC27, we have joined the newly formed competitive EA SPORTS FC Pro Clubs organisation as the Founding Partner, giving us the opportunity to support the club from the very beginning of its journey.
Created by experienced players from across the UK and European Pro Clubs scene, DNA was founded following a successful FC26 campaign that saw members of the group reach the UK Season 2 Pro Series Cup Final and compete at the UK Pro Series LAN in Sheffield. The new organisation has been built around three principles – community, professionalism and competitiveness – with an ambition to create something sustainable rather than simply building a team for one season.
That long-term philosophy strongly aligns with our own. By supporting DNA from day one, we hope to provide more than sponsorship, sharing our experience, advice and network as the organisation develops its competitive teams, identity and community.
