Robi has been tearing through Europe’s youth FC scene. In June, he won the NXT GEN Academy for the fourth consecutive time, extending a remarkable run against some of the continent’s best young players. The Esports Player Foundation highlighted his consistency and ability to perform under pressure.
That means this City move did not come out of nowhere. Robi has been building towards it.
Back in 2024, when he was only 13, he won the BFV eSport European Championship, beating German e-national player Dylan “DullenMIKE” Neuhausen 2-0 in the final.
Two years later, he is joining one of football’s biggest esports organisations.
City Move Comes Before His EA SPORTS Debut
There is one interesting twist. Although Robi has signed with Manchester City at 15, EA SPORTS competitions only allow professional players aged 16 and above.
That means fans will have to wait until his 16th birthday before he can officially represent City in EA SPORTS competitions. But City are clearly not waiting around to secure the talent.
Robi himself is already looking ahead.
“City are a huge organisation and I can’t wait to play for the Club,” Robi said after signing.
“I am grateful to everyone at City for putting their trust in me and I look forward to us winning titles together.” He added.
Why Robi’s Manchester City Move Matters
For FC esports, this is another reminder of how young the next generation is becoming. Robi is only 15, but he already has years of competitive experience behind him. Now he gets to develop inside a major football organisation with a global name.

Robi joins Manchester City Esports, but the real story may only be beginning. He has already dominated at youth level. Now comes the wait for 16.
Then we get to see what the teenager can really do against the world’s best.
