From the Football Field to the Esports Arena: AC Milan Star Simon Kjær Launches New Danish Counter-Strike Team WOPA!

Simon Kjær, a Serie A champion with AC Milan in the 2020-21 season, has ventured into the esports arena by co-founding a new Danish Counter-Strike team named WOPA, alongside Martin Rosenbæk, the founder of HLTV, and Nicolai Orbe.

Expressing his enthusiasm on X, Kjær shared his personal affinity for Counter-Strike, stating, "I love playing Counter-Strike myself, and I hope to be able to help young girls and boys find and cultivate their passion."

WOPA has integrated most of the players from the former CEPTER roster, with a notable change seeing Christian "⁠Vster⁠" Vestergaard stepping in for Anders "⁠Pellyy⁠" Bredahl Laursen.

The team has shown promising results in the domestic scene, securing second place in the latest POWER Ligaen, a Danish regional competition. They've continued this strong performance into the current season, achieving consecutive victories in their first two matches.
