Parma Esports is ready to take to the field once again in EA SPORTS 26 ahead of the new competitive season.

The Gialloblu team will build on solid foundations with Carburatore (Nicolò Poggi) and RedMagghy (Giusy Capuano), who were key figures last season in both the eSerie A and the eFemminile, with Giusy finishing in the top five of the national finals.

Joining the team will be Giulia Ratto, who previously represented the Gialloblù in 2023, reaching the eFemminile final, and recently won the Italy Women’s eCup 2025 with Palermo Esports. Parma Esports will therefore count on two female pro players to face the upcoming women’s competition season with confidence.

Coach Efy (Efisio Sanneris) has also been confirmed, while among the new signings is Federico Foti (born 2009, alias NKFederico) a young talent from Catania who will be making his professional debut in the Esports world.

The first official event of the season will kick off on September 22, with the FC Pro Open Ladder.

A GROWING COMMUNITY

Over the past two seasons (August 2023 – August 2025), Parma Esports has surpassed 100,000 total followers across TikTok, Instagram, and Threads, starting out with just 6,000 Instagram followers. This impressive organic growth journey has led to the publication of over 2,300 pieces of content, reaching more than 55 million views and 2.7 million interactions, thanks in part to collaborations with major partners such as DAZN, Lega Serie A, Futbin, 433 Esports, EA SPORTS Italia, and Valorant Italia. In May 2025, the City of Parma also recognised the team’s success, celebrating the victory of the Italian Women’s Valorant Championship.

Beyond numbers, last season was enriched by storytelling projects and community engagement initiatives. With the docu-series Breaking Grounds, Parma Esports shed light on the stories of its female players and the challenges faced by women in esports, featuring powerful testimonies from Effy and Jessica Armanetti. There were also major highlights in competitions, including participation in the eSerie A Goleador, which concluded with the finals at Comicon Napoli, documented through an official vlog that captured the team’s preparation, tension, and spirit up close.
