Premier League Stars Launch Digital Collectables With Sportemon Go

The collaboration was made possible by the global marketplace for sports and entertainment talent, Pickstar.

New Deal Inked

Manchester United’s Luke Shaw and Liverpool F.C.’s Andy Robertson have launched their own Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) in partnership with Sportemon Go. The partnership was announced on October 7th. Fans can now register to win one of Luke Shaw’s First Edition NFTs, valued at over £700 on Sportemon Go, with Andy Robertson’s NFTs available later this month. Shaw and Robertson have signed exclusively to Sportemon Go for all future NFT releases and join over 25 other athletes in doing so.

The collaboration was made possible by the Premier League stars being available on Pickstar, the global marketplace for sports and entertainment talent. Pickstar allows brands and businesses to search and select stars with ease, for anything from event/motivational speakers for events such as International Women’s Day, to opportunities in helping companies hire a football legend for one-off or multi-year brand partnerships.
