Huge Wins for Chiliz: Unveils Major Fan Tokens

Leading blockchain sports platform Chiliz has continued to witness remarkable growth as the firm, which focuses on issuing sports organization fan tokens, recently unveiled several first-of-a-kind fan tokens.

The Argentine Football Association (AFA) has tapped Chiliz to create fan tokens ($ARG). This makes AFA the first national soccer team in the world to utilize fan tokens to interact with their global fanbase.

Announcing the new partnership via an official blog post, the AFA disclosed that pre-existing Argentinean users on the Socios app will receive one $ARG fan token for free. Noteably, the $ARG tokens will be launched before the 2021 Copa América tournament, scheduled for July 2021.

Claudio Tapia, president of AFA, expressed his excitement with the collaboration. Tapia explained that the partnership would help the AFA generate more income and enhance the team’s commercial presence globally.

“This agreement clearly responds to our strategy and also reinforces our digital growth. Through Fan Tokens, fans will feel closer to our national team and will be able to influence the team, earn rewards and enjoy exclusive experiences,” he added.

Similarly, Alexandre Dreyfus, CEO of Chiliz and Socios.com, noted that the partnership would provide Argentina fans with a new way to engage with and influence their soccer team.

He added, “The future of sport rests on transitioning passive fans into active fans through transactional fan engagement; our fan engagement platform enables our partners to plug into a global network of elite sporting organizations and achieve this necessary evolution.”

Steve Newmark, president of RFR, disclosed that the firm was excited for the future of Chiliz’s collaboration. Newmark noted that this would give fans the opportunity to decide the aesthetics of cars and other assets.
