Chiliz News – AC Milan Football In-Game NFT For Fan Token Holder Report Released
Digital Shoutout, LLC has announced the launch of the world’s first-ever live, in-game NFTs for football fans on its sports and entertainment blockchain resource site, Chiliz News.
Frisco, United States , Nov. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – On October 31st, 2021, Chiliz made history through its fan engagement app, Socios.com. 25 minutes into the match between AC Milan and AS Roma at Stadio Olimpico, AC Milan center forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a goal with a free-kick from outside the area. As the team cheered, a photographer captured the moment, and the world’s first in-game, live NFT was launched.

The newly published report details how 100 limited edition NFTs were minted and distributed to holders of the AC Milan fan token, $ACM. The NFTs have a unique value as a sentimental reminder of the moment, as a limited edition item, and as the first-ever in what is likely to become a long line-up of in-game NFTs.
Fan tokens are available through the Socios.com fan engagement app and provide fans with a direct say in how their favorite teams are operated. Token holders have access to exclusive club voting rights, VIP rewards, augmented reality features, games, and competitions. They can also chat with other fans, and occasionally even players.
A week later, Sport Club Corinthians Paulista (SCCP) joined the movement by launching their own in-game NFTs in partnership with Chiliz. The digital assets were given to $SCCP token holders who owned at least 10 tokens and had made a prediction on the outcome of the game using the included predictor feature on the Socios app.

The minting of digital assets during games has caused a stir with fans, and it seems likely that the trend will continue. As well as being a sentimental reminder, the NFTs have been gathering monetary value and can be traded on any Ethereum based NFT marketplace, such as OpenSea.
Story continues
Not to be left behind, Valencia CF has rushed to be the first Spanish football club to reward fans with digital assets. A memorable in-game moment will be captured, digitized, and air-dropped to token holders. 100 fans with at least 10 $VCF tokens who made an accurate prediction using the Socios app can expect to receive a special NFT of their own.
The Socios.com fan engagement app is quickly becoming widespread, with over 1.3 million users from 167 different countries. The service has partnered with major sporting organizations in over 20 countries, including the NBA, NHL, and F1.

Football industry embraces crypto as Messi helps ‘fan tokens’ take off
When Paris Saint-Germain signed Lionel Messi , the salary package included something previously unheard of for a player – a one-off payment, understood to be worth around one million euros ($1.15m), made in PSG ‘fan tokens’.It was the result of a partnership signed by the French giants in 2018 with Socios.com which sees fans use a cryptocurrency called ' chiliz ' to buy tokens allowing them to vote on issues related to the club.These issues have tended to be rather mundane, for example Juventus asking what music they should play in their stadium, but the concept has caught on.The company has grown quickly since signing its first partnerships with PSG and Juventus to being involved with 56 football clubs and around 100 sports teams worldwide, says CEO Alexandre Dreyfus.Messi has brought more publicity, and Dreyfus believes the Argentinian will “set a trend”.“This is more a top-up that is never going to replace any compensation. It is more like a bonus, but it is a bonus that at some point players will start to ask for,” Dreyfus tells AFP from his office in Malta.“We hope that in two years, during the ‘mercato’ (transfer window), a player will say: ‘Yes I am going to that team but they had better give me a million dollars of fan tokens’.“Dreyfus admits the pandemic and resulting economic crisis has benefited his company, allowing them to multiply their partnerships.“The fact is that clubs suddenly lost 50 or 70 or 80 percent of their revenue, and they realised: ‘Hey, we have fans all over the world, what can we sell them?'“They now have shirt sponsorship deals with Inter Milan and Valencia, promoting their fan tokens.New analysis by KPMG Football Benchmark shows that over 40 shirt sponsorship deals have been signed in Europe’s five biggest leagues since the pandemic’s onset.It says Inter doubled income by switching from Pirelli to Socios.com and a deal worth $23.57 million.There is a mini-revolution happening as businesses related to cryptocurrency have started appearing on shirts.In July, Roma announced a three-year deal worth $14 million annually that sees their shirts carry the name of DigitalBits, “an easy-to-use open-source blockchain used to power consumer digital assets”.“Not only can fans witness history, but they can now own part of it,” boasted Roma. “Get ready to trade and collect. Join us as we step into the future of football.“The emergence of crypto-related businesses in football comes as countries are introducing regulation to clamp down on gambling sponsorship – a ban is in place in Spain, for example, while the UK government is considering one.“The door is ajar for new companies to stick their foot in,” say KPMG.“Something has to fill the void and fan tokens, or something which is not defined as gambling but is gambling, are likely to be the big ticket in town,” Kieran Maguire, a lecturer in football finance at Liverpool University, tells AFP.There are concerns about curious punters being drawn into using crypto-related products without having a proper understanding.To highlight their volatility, the value of ‘chiliz’ – a less well-known cryptocurrency than, say, Bitcoin – shot up 58 percent in the four weeks after Messi’s arrival.“Ultimately these are speculative products. Someone described them to me as gambling with a small G,” says Maguire.Meanwhile, some supporter groups have criticised their clubs for embracing fan tokens.Aston Villa Supporters Trust told Joe.co.uk their club’s agreement with Socios.com was “wholly inappropriate” and questioned why fan engagement should be monetised.Maguire says: “The clubs are targeting the ‘non-legacy fans’ and asking: ‘Can we make some money out of these new fans?'“If we take Manchester United, they claim to have 1.1 billion fans and in a normal year they will make around 600 million pounds ($805m) in revenue. So that works out as about 55 pence per fan per year. That’s pretty bad.“For the clubs, this is where Dreyfus – a founder of French online gambling and poker company Winamax – comes in.“We are talking about two different generations that are not fighting against each other, they just don’t see the same things,” he insists.“I always joke saying we are not targeting a guy who has a tattoo and lives next to the stadium.“Our market is really more about the digital fans, casual fans all over the world that consume sports differently to you and me historically.”
FC Barcelona & Manchester City Both Halt Crypto Partnerships Despite Crypto-Related Sponsorships Surging in Sports
Barcelona announced via its official website that it was ending its relationship with Ownix, after less than a month of inking a deal, while Manchester City FC looks to gain insight into its new sponsor, 3Key, prompted by its lack of a digital presence.

FC Barcelona has ended its relationship with crypto company Ownix, following the arrest of a businessman named Moshe Hogeg, who had been linked to the company. Ownix’s intention was to partner with FC Barcelona to create NFTs that provide a digital certificate of authenticity of non-tangible pieces of the club’s illustrious history. Hogeg’s legal counsel has denied the allegations. Hogeg is the owner of the Israeli team Beitar Jerusalem.
The partnership was announced on Nov. 4, 2021, and sought to create NFTs around iconic photographic moments for fans, spanning the club’s 122-year history. It would have created a way for fans to “acquire and own digital assets that will reproduce unforgettable Blaugrana moments” via NFT auctions that were set to take place throughout the season. It was meant to be part of Barca’s plan to seek new forms of engagement with new generations of fans. The president of FC Barcelona has articulated how the club’s strong social media following prompted an exploration of ways to consolidate the Barcelona brand. The Ownix president previously expressed his optimism at the joint venture that would allow ownership of assets that could not previously be owned.

In other news surrounding prestigious partnerships, English Premier League Team Manchester City has onboarded as a sponsor the mysterious company 3Key, as an “official regional partner” in “decentralized finance trading analysis and advisory technology.” The company has a minimal online presence, which has prompted Manchester City’s staff to probe deeper into the company. The club has not officially engaged the company in any specific service and has temporarily suspended engagements pending their probe.
Barca’s crypto history
Barca had previously joined forces with Socios and Chiliz to launch fan tokens, for the general public. Chiliz is a blockchain fan voting startup Chiliz, while Socios.com is a rewards platform. By using the digital currency $CHZ, Barca fan tokens can be bought, which allow club poll voting and the earning of rewards, according to a Twitter post released by the company in February 2020.
FC Barca plays in La Liga Santander, and La Liga recently partnered with Sorare to launch digital fan cards of players. Sorare’s vision was to combine NFT technology with sports cards to create a fantasy game.
Sorare has an impressive share of the market space it operates in, especially in the U.S. and Asia. Sorare’s deal with La Liga stretches from the first division, La Liga Santander, to the second division, La Liga Smartbank. It now has under license major global clubs, like Real Madrid FC, Liverpool FC, and FC Bayern Munich.
PSG token value boosted by Messi
Former FC Barcelona star Lionel Messi recently transferred to French club Paris St. German, who also have their own fan tokens. The fan tokens shot up 100% in price following speculation that Messi would join the club, hitting the $45 mark, and following Messi’s commencement of his tenure at the club, the price soared to $58 on Aug. 10 2021, but subsequently corrected to $48.
