LALIGA EA Sports FC Beat the Best was officially launched for the first time ever in Malaysia together with AEON as the main Sponsor and Vertex as LALIGA local partner and organizer of the event. LALIGA will thus repeat last season’s success and positive reception with its international Beat the Best tournaments.
This was shared during a joint press conference in Kuala Lumpur, where details about tournaments in Malaysia were revealed. The tournaments will be both online and offline. Malaysia will host an event on April 12th and 13th, 2025, which will include activities to celebrate the tournament’s final along with a LALIGA Legend, a former LALIGA player who will join the events and hold a Meet and Greet with fans.
Malaysian participants can sign up from today until March 17th to compete in the online tournaments happening from March 17th to March 23rd.
Throughout March, participants will compete for a total prize pool of RM30,000. The winner of the Malaysia tournament will have the chance to travel and experience LALIGA in Spain.
