One for the gamers: Learn EA FC tips and tricks from St Pauli’s eSports team

To celebrate the start of Bundesliga’s new virtual season, Back Market is partnering with eFootball team, St Pauli. So, what do the Boys in Brown and a global, tech marketplace have in common?

Those familiar with the Hamburg team will know that they are unapologetically ethical. They were the first club domestically to adopt a set of guiding principles (ensuring the club adheres to strict social and eco responsibilities), and the first club globally to publish a balance sheet for the Common Good (audited in the same bracket as Greenpeace). Their fanbase are also staunch activists and they champion inclusivity, whilst the Millerntor is laden with banners and signs rejecting fascism, racism, homophobia and sexism. Not only does Back Market demonstrate the same planet-friendly, people-friendly values but with St Pauli’s eFootball team reliant on high-performance tech devices, they are the perfect partner to demonstrate our commitment to refurbished tech.

“We’re delighted to have Back Market involved with FC St. Pauli,” says the club's Head of Marketing Martin Geisthardt. “Together, we would like to raise awareness for the fact that sustainability begins with more conscious buying decisions and that refurbished technology can definitely be a very good alternative to the purchase of a new device.”

To kick things off, we caught some time with pro players Kamal and Koray to witness their gaming expertise in action. Watch the video below to see key tips and tricks that will help you hone your gaming skills at home.
