With the first whistle of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the pre-tournament activity in fan tokens continues.
The crypto industry has been adopted by the sports world in a short time. Products and services using NFTs, fan tokens and blockchain technology have created new values with sports organizations. Hundreds of collaborations and partnerships have been established in football, one of the most popular sports in the world.
