FIFA’s Web3 Venture Offers World Cup Final Tickets
FIFA, the esteemed global football governing body, is ready to introduce a collection of digital assets that could unlock a dream opportunity for football enthusiasts. The initial 100 digital assets in this series will provide holders with an exclusive chance to secure tickets for the 2026 World Cup final, as confirmed by a statement from the organization.
The FIFA digital collection
This exclusive assortment is part of FIFA‘s broader initiative to embrace the emerging realm of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). As per the official statement:
“The first release will comprise 100 digital assets … showcasing the rarest collectibles, offering an opportunity to secure tickets for the 2026 FIFA World Cup final.”
Additionally, another 900 digital assets are scheduled for release on the Polygon network, accessible through the OpenSea platform. This announcement comes just as the Club World Cup 2023 is set to kick off in Saudi Arabia.
Transitioning from Algorand
The soccer entity is migrating its NFT collectibles from Algorand to Polygon, coinciding with the next phase of their upcoming collection. Polygon, a blockchain platform gaining traction in web3 gaming projects, will be the foundation for future FIFA digital collectibles.
FIFA has also engaged in two metaverse ventures, notably with the Upland platform, and licensed multiple Web3 gaming initiatives. As the foremost soccer organization globally continues to carve its presence in the Web3 space, it sets a benchmark for other sporting entities to follow, promising enhanced and more interactive experiences for sports aficionados.
