In a major step for the French esports scene, twelve prominent esports organizations have come together to launch the French Esports Club Union (UFCEP). This new union aims to have a unified impact on several critical areas of esports, with a strong focus on talent development, legal frameworks, and player welfare.

According to release the UFCEP is committed to supporting the growth of the esports industry by creating an environment where players can thrive both professionally and personally. The union’s initiatives are centered around three key pillars:

1. Supporting Talent Development: The UFCEP plans to implement structured training programs that not only help players hone their skills but also allow them to balance their esports careers with their education. By offering a comprehensive development plan, the union hopes to nurture the next generation of esports stars while ensuring their long-term success both inside and outside the gaming world.

2. Establishing Legal Frameworks: The union will work to simplify the complex visa processes for player transfers, making it easier for French esports players to compete internationally. In addition, UFCEP aims to create clearer regulations for esports clubs, providing a more stable and transparent operational environment for all stakeholders.

3. Protecting Player Welfare: The welfare of players is a major focus for the UFCEP, with a strong commitment to tackling issues such as cyberbullying, mental health challenges, and career sustainability. By addressing these concerns, the union aims to create a safe, supportive space where players can focus on their craft without compromising their well-being.
