Liverpool Football Club is dipping its toes further into the crypto space by initiating a collaboration with French blockchain-based sports startup Sorare.
Sorare employs team player-owned fantasy sports games that roll out digital memorabilia as Non-Fungible Tokens. The online sports game revolves around the sale of licensed virtual sports cards which players can leverage to bring together teams that are then pitted against each other.
Sorare has claimed to possess a one-of-a-kind multi-year association with Liverpool to design content and experiences for fans. The cards curated for the games are traded as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).
The past Blockchain undertaken with Liverpool saw exclusive cards being given out on the Sorare platform, while the recently struck deal will open doors to Liverpool stadium excursions, and match day experiences along with limited video content being delivered as awards for winners of the online game.
According to Liverpool FC Commercial Director Ben Latty, the club is always aiming to accentuate their fan experience and allow them to feel engaged with the club as much as possible.
Liverpool’s deepening of its ties with Sorare is the most recent undertaking in a series of landmarks for Sorare, which now possesses more than 2 million customers globally with an additional 280 collaborating sports agencies like La Liga, the Bundesliga, Series, A, and Major League Baseball.
