Socios and MLS will create a unique community of fans wherein they can interact with each other and participate in events and reward programs.
Fan Token platform Socios has recently entered into a multi-year deal with Major League Soccer (MLS) on Wednesday, May 4. Socios is a next-generation fan engagement and rewards company offering “fan tokens” for sports teams and leagues.
Last month in April, Socios signed a deal with 13 National Football League (NFL) teams. In the latest development, it has agreed on fan engagement and marketing deals with Major League Soccer (MLS). Reportedly, Socios shall offer assistance to all teams in the MLS.
With this deal, Socios will create a unique community for MLS fans who can celebrate their passion for the game. Furthermore, the partnership will give fans exclusive access to rewards, polls, and opportunities for their favorite club. Also, fans can win prizes by making correct game-related predictions or participating in quiz and correctly answering questions. Speaking of the development, Max Rabinovitch, Socios.com’s Chief Strategy Officer said:
“Joining forces with MLS to explore what the best iteration of our blockchain-based fan engagement product will become is truly exciting. This partnership is going to have far-reaching positive impacts on our evolution and shed light on what the Socios fan engagement universe on the blockchain can be as a whole. MLS is the perfect home to begin that educational journey in North America.”
A Win-Win for Socios and MLS Club
