While Xbox has a shiny V8, PlayStation’s going with football.
The PS4 National Premier Leagues (NPL) 2015 season started today, with a match at the Adelaide Shores Football Centre between reigning champs, the MetroStars SC, and the Croydon Kings.
“The PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues spans eight State and Territory competitions, with the premier club of each NPL competition qualifying for the national play-offs in September and October,” Sony said of the league. “Entering its third year, Australia’s premier competitions will feature a host of firsts in 2015, the most significant being the first full season that the NPL will be staged under the banner of inaugural naming rights partner PlayStation 4.”
“Football in Australia is on an upward trajectory and we are very excited to partner with the FFA through the inaugural sponsorship of the NPL. We believe this sponsorship will help grow the NPL to assist with the development of a stronger player pathway into the Hyundai A-League,” said Managing Director of Sony Computer Entertainment Australia, Michael Ephraim. “PlayStation 4 is for the passionate players. Those on the field and those off the field with games like FIFA 15. This is why we see this sponsorship as the perfect fit for both partners.”
Tonight’s PS4 National Premier Leagues 2015 season opener between Croydon Kings and MetroStars SC begins at 7.00 pm ACDT.
