An immersive tech and hospitality venue is set to make its global debut in Hull this weekend.
Federation of Sport is co-owned by Real Madrid goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois.
The £1.6m launch features golf simulators, virtual reality escape and team combat experiences, interactive darts, PC gaming and esports.
It will be opened inside King William House, one of the area’s most significant city-centre renewal sites.
“This is just the start. Federation of Sport has huge potential. Launching in Hull proves we’re building something ambitious — and I can’t wait to see this grow internationally,” said Courtois.

Following Hull, the team intends to open venues in Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester, and expansion into Spain, the Netherlands, and the UAE.
“Hull is where this vision was built — and now the world gets to see it from here,” added co-founder, Antonio Tombanane.
This isn’t a first tech or esports investment for Courtois, who helped launch esports organisation, TC Esports and TC Racing and also owns Spanish esports organisation, DUX Gaming.
