Portuguese footballing giant, SL Benfica is getting aboard the Socios train with the proposed launch of a fan token. The partnership will notably open up Benfica to the world of Socios which plays host to more than 150 of the biggest clubs or sports organizations in the world across Europe, South America, and the United States of America.
Socios is a major pioneer of fan engagement using blockchain technology, and its popularity has continued to grow by the day. According to the statistics shared by the platform, there are over 1.5 million downloads of its application, and Benfica will be brought into this large community of club supporters.
“Benfica is constantly focused on searching for and delivering a positive experience to our huge global fanbase which includes both Members and Supporters. We have been paying very close attention to Digital Assets, a market which has been influential in our industry of late. We are delighted to be partnering with Socios.com, the ideal partner for developing our tokens and for bringing the worldwide Benfica family closer together,” said Domingos Soares de Oliveira, CEO of SL Benfica.
Benfica has a whole lot more to benefit from the Socios partnership as it can finally harness the powers of blockchain to drive more inclusivity within the club and the broad array of fans it has around the world.
By being a part of the Socios ecosystem, Benfica will be launching its fan tokens on the Chiliz blockchain. Besides the revenue aspect that is often robust and serves as an alternative stream of income, the club can finally democratize some of its decisions, giving direct access to fans holding the club’s token to have a say. The decentralized nature of the Socios-backed fan token makes it possible for anyone, irrespective of their geographical location.
