FIFA, the international soccer governing body, has announced the upcoming launch of an NFT platform for fans of the sport across the globe. FIFA+ Collect will offer digital collectibles perpetuating the greatest game moments of FIFA’s world cups, the organization promised.
This news comes as a bit of a surprise as the market for NFTs has been struggling as of late. Nevertheless, it is exciting to see that FIFA is embracing this new technology and giving fans a way to collect and interact with their favorite moments in football history.
The digital collectibles will represent memorable moments from football matches and feature iconic art and imagery from the FIFA World Cup and FIFA Women’s World Cup tournaments. FIFA+ Collect will be available on FIFA+, the federation’s digital platform which provides access to live soccer games from around the world, interactive games, news, tournament information, and other original content.
FIFA’s NFT platform has been created as part of the partnership with Algorand announced earlier this year. In May, FIFA and the blockchain technology firm agreed on a sponsorship and technical partnership deal ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
It will be interesting to see how this platform develops and whether or not it can help to revive the NFT market. Read more about it on fifa.com.
