Blockchain and Football
The use of blockchain technology in the sports industry has surged in recent months. Professional football clubs around the world announced the launch of Fan Tokens. FC Barcelona, the club for which Pique plays, also launched a fan token earlier this year in partnership with a blockchain platform, Chiliz. “I’ve been a big fan of soccer cards since I was a kid. As an entrepreneur, I think the world of soccer itself has to innovate,” Pique said in a virtual press conference.
“I think it’s a great project because it’s the next step. It’s the present and the future, and the next generations will collect these kinds of assets or digital cards,” he added.
