The paths of blockchain technology and football have coincided more than a few times. We’ve had national teams issue tokens to their fans, there’s been a good number of World Cup-themed NFT campaigns in the past months, and we’ve seen top brands in crypto, like Binance, sign strategic agreements with significant football stakeholders. The World Cup can certainly be a way for people to earn exciting crypto rewards while enjoying the popular game and for crypto projects to push the drive for global adoption.

The partnership allows fans to create their own special NFTs inspired by their favorite football moments, which will be minted on Crypto.com. In addition, eligible creators will also have the opportunity to choose their favorite color scheme based on their preferred national colors.
