Champion Games is a Barcelona-based video game studio that makes blockchain-based football games. It was founded in 2015 by Marc Cercós, Patxi Barrios and Alex Fiestas, and began with fantasy football games. Its main title was MetaSoccer, a Web3 football management game in which players ran virtual clubs, trained NFT players and earned rewards from matches and competitions.
