This week Celtic Football Club and Epic Games are celebrating global football in Fortnite, alongside more than 20 other top clubs around the world.

Starting January 23, players can choose from 10 different variants of new 'Kickoff Set' Outfits to represent their favourite club in-game. Each Outfit can be swapped to any of the 23 football clubs participating, including Celtic. Additionally, players will be able to earn or purchase two new emotes, including a 'Fancy Footwork' dribbling emote and the iconic 'Pele’s Air Punch' celebration thanks to Epic’s partnership with the legendary Brazilian footballer.

Fortnite players and footballers around the world can jump into the game on January 20 for the opportunity to earn rewards even earlier by participating in the Pele Cup. Anyone playing the game can also visit the Creative Hub for an immersive football experience throughout the week, and join select clubs around the world in hosted Fortnite tournaments.

Gordon Kaye, Head of Business Development at Celtic Football Club, said: “Fortnite is a phenomenally popular game and we know Celtic fans all over the world will be excited to board the Battle Bus and take on their friends in in the famous green and white Hoops. We are delighted to partner with Epic Games to bring a bit of Celtic into the world of Fortnite.”

Nate Nanzer, Head of Global Partnerships at Epic Games, said: “Football is consistently one of the top sports that our players tell us they want to see and experience in Fortnite. We’re excited to partner with Celtic FC to bring ‘the beautiful game’ to Fortnite fans around the world as they face off in competitive tournaments, experience new creative modes of gameplay, and celebrate global football.”
