It seems that football teams do not want to be left behind with the new possibilities that today bring. Metaverse and NFTs are on the agenda of Barcelona, the representative of the Catalans, which has hosted the world’s greatest legends.
Barcelona club president Laporta stated in a press statement that there are not only football-related clauses in the contracts of the players in the club. Of course, non-football clauses in the contract have not been seen before? No, but the clauses that President Laporta put in the contracts he signed with the players are unprecedented.
Barcelona players have Metaverse and NFT clauses in their contracts
Barcelona, one of the most prestigious football clubs in the world, which is one of the dreams of every professional football player, will create its own metaverse and announced that it will release its crypto currency. Speaking at MWC 2022, Barcelona President Laporta stated that there are clauses related to NFT and Metaverse in the contracts of the players.
Laporta’s explanations are exactly as follows:
“We are creating our own metaverse. In fact, that’s why we made the negative decision about being affiliated with other cryptocurrency companies. We also want to issue our own cryptocurrency. We have to do this ourselves. With what we will produce in the sports industry, the club will breathe financially.
We don’t have big companies or shareholders behind us. This pushes us to be productive, brave and always one step ahead of the sports industry. We will also launch our NFT project. We have more than 300 million fans worldwide. The contracts of the players also contain clauses related to NFT and the metaverse”
All of the previous offers to Barcelona about cryptocurrency sponsorships were answered ‘no’. The club said that cryptocurrencies are a very risky business, causing the proposals to be rejected. Apparently, Barcelona wanted to issue its own cryptocurrency.
