Cryptocurrency has brought a massive flow of money into football. Companies such as Crypto.com, Binance, and Socios have signed sponsorship deals with major clubs. PSG, Barcelona, and Juventus have issued their own fan tokens โ through which fans gain voting rights (for example, choosing the bus design or walk-out music).
NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) have also been applied to football collectibles. Sorare โ a fantasy football platform โ sells digital cards of players as NFTs. Some rare cards have sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, the crypto market crash in 2023 sharply reduced the value of many projects.
In Uzbekistan, the legal status of cryptocurrencies is not yet fully defined. Nevertheless, from a technological standpoint, digital tickets, fan tokens, and blockchain-based transparent transfer systems could enter Uzbek football in the future. The key is to apply the technology correctly and securely.
