Rematch teams up with Toornament to launch its official esports platform. With dozens of events, PC and console support, and in-game prizes, the football title is ready to challenge the esports scene.
Sloclap, the developer behind the rapidly growing third-person football title Rematch, has officially partnered with the esports management platform Toornament to power its competitive ecosystem. This collaboration aims to centralize all of Rematch‘s esports activities and enhance its visibility among the growing community of players and organizers.
The partnership comes at a critical time, as Rematch continues to gain momentum following its successful launch. According to SteamDB, the title recently reached a peak concurrent player count of 92,841, a significant milestone for any new sports game. By integrating Toornament’s white-label solution directly into the game, Sloclap is taking an ambitious step toward establishing Rematch as a major contender in the football esports genre.
Thanks to Toornament’s infrastructure, players can now manage their teams, register for competitions, report match results, and track tournament progress all within a unified system. The white-label platform, first introduced in May 2023, enables Sloclap to maintain Rematch’s visual identity across the esports experience while still benefiting from Toornament’s backend tools and tournament organization expertise.
Sylvian Maillard, Marketing and Communication Manager at Toornament, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration: “We’re thrilled to partner with Sloclap to help build the competitive gaming scene.” He further noted that the community response has already been overwhelming, with “hundreds of organisers” showing interest and “dozens of tournaments” already lined up to run in the coming weeks.
The Rematch esports platform is now live, supporting tournaments on both PC and console. Current and upcoming events will offer enticing rewards, including exclusive in-game items and other prizes, encouraging both casual and competitive players to participate.
The integration of structured tournaments and a centralized system is a significant move for Rematch as it enters an increasingly competitive market. The title is part of a broader wave of football games aiming to provide an alternative to EA Sports FC. Much like UFL, which recently held an esports event in collaboration with the Portuguese Football Federation and boasts backing from Cristiano Ronaldo, Rematch is looking to carve out its niche in the football esports world.
With its unique third-person gameplay and strong design identity, Rematch is well-positioned to appeal to players seeking a different take on digital football. The launch of its integrated esports platform through Toornament could mark the beginning of a thriving competitive scene, bolstered by both community enthusiasm and professional infrastructure.
As the first tournaments get underway and more organizers join the fold, all eyes will be on Rematch to see if it can successfully transition from a popular new title to a long-term esports staple.
