Nicklas Bendtner Reveals Launch of Esports Investment Firm

As a huge football fan and follower of the esports scene, I’m absolutely thrilled to see Nicklas Bendtner, a former Premier League star and Danish national team player, diving headfirst into the world of esports. His recent announcement of launching the Legendary Gaming Group is truly exciting!


Nicklas Bendtner, a previous football star in the Premier League and Danish national team member, unveiled the establishment of an investment organization specializing in esports called the Legendary Gaming Group. This group has already put money into businesses linked to the esports sector. Some of these ventures include New Breed Agency, Legendary Arena, Team Singularity, and another as-yet-unknown brand.

In the year 2020, Bendtner developed a deep interest in CSGO (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive). This passion led him to establish a small gaming team and eventually participate in a showmatch in Copenhagen under the BLAST label. Now, he’s planning to take his enthusiasm a step further by making significant investments within this industry.

Moving Forward

Bendtner, a long-time Arsenal player, became known as “Lord Bendtner” due to his impressive on-field abilities. Starting in 2024, Bendtner has devoted himself to developing the Legendary Gaming Group. Currently, the company is gearing up to secure initial funding to advance into the next stage of growth.

Following the airing of this news, Team Singularity’s founder, Atle Stehouwer, explained:

I’m delighted and proud to have secured a suitable residence for Team Singularity under the protective umbrella of Legendary Gaming Group. It’s an honor for me to have assembled a powerful investment team, marking the beginning of Legendary Gaming Group.

Football players have shown a growing interest in the esports sector. In recent times, several prominent football stars have entered this field in various capacities. For instance, David Beckham serves as an ambassador for Guild Esports, while Sergio Aguero is the founder of KRU Esports. These sports giants are making their mark in the competitive gaming world. About his new venture, Bendtner expressed his excitement, saying, “I’m thrilled about the team we have built at Legendary and am eager to be a part of something significant in an industry that has piqued my curiosity.”

I’ve learned that the specific job title for him hasn’t been finalized yet, but he’ll play an essential role within the company.
