Empire of Sports, Barça’s virtual game
www.fcbarcelona.cat
On Wednesday, FC Barcelona becomes the first team in the world to have a virtual online club. This is all thanks to an agreement with Empire of Sports, the first online multisport game using 3D technology.
The idea is to give all Barça fans around the world a totally innovative meeting place, offering
plenty of fun, interaction, shared experiences and competitions with other Barça fans around the
world. At the same time, the FC Barcelona game offers a new element for communicating with the fans
and new opportunity for expanding the brand internationally.
Evolution is the goal
Empire of Sports users can use
their virtual character, their avatar, to compete in seven different sports. As they win games and
tournaments, they evolve physically and technically (becoming a better sportsperson), and move up
the world ranking, allowing for comparison with other users.
Barça competitions
From this Wednesday, Empire of Sports users can access the Barça Club House, where
they can personalise their avatar with Barça gear. Wearing Barça kit will help the avatar to
improve and progress in spectacular fashion, learning a whole series of dribbles, shots and skills
that are so typical of FC Barcelona’s particular style. There will also be special Barça
competitions, and a series of special missions to be completed. From the Barça Club House you can
also connect to the FC Barcelona website, visit the club’s online store, learn about the
first team’s results, view the fixture list, and much more.
Special rooms from June
Upstairs in the Barça Club House there is a VIP lounge with
special characteristics, and a Barça Training Centre, where users can train virtually and make much
faster sporting progress than fellow avatars. Users can register for these rooms from mid June,
when they will be officially inaugurated.
If you want to explore the new Barça Club House at Empire of Sports you simply have to
