Football and Blockchain: Technology for Transparency

Blockchain technology has great potential to increase transparency and trust in the football industry. If blockchain is used in transfer deals, agent commissions, payment terms, and bonuses become visible to everyone. This prevents corruption and illegal payments. FIFA is also working on digitizing the transfer system.

In the ticketing sector, blockchain is already being utilized. Tokenized tickets ensure price control during resale and solve the problem of fake tickets. Platforms such as GET Protocol and Aventus are working in this direction. Fans can purchase tickets securely and, if necessary, resell them within a specified price range.

Blockchain is not yet used in football in Uzbekistan, but the future is near. Digital ticketing systems, transparent financial reports, and the secure storage of player data — blockchain solutions could benefit Uzbek football. Playmatch may also implement blockchain-based features in the future.
