More English football teams–– the center of world football––are going digital before next week’s upcoming season.
Double Time In the EPL
Fan token producer Chiliz has launched tokens with Everton FC and Leeds United on Socios.com. Chilliz now has partnerships with four teams in the most expensive football league globally, the English Premier League.
Both of the tokens are expected to be ready before the 2021-2022 season on August 13. Existing season ticket holders for both clubs will be given a chance to redeem either $EFC and $LUFC, respectively. Chilliz announced the news on Twitter over the few days, with the Everton announcement first on Aug. 3, followed by Leeds on Aug. 5.
“This partnership with Socios.com is another step forward for Leeds United as we look to provide more opportunities for our fans around the globe to get even closer to the club,” said Paul Bell, Executive Director at Leeds United, in the club’s official statement. “We are committed to innovation on and off the field and this represents our first step into blockchain technology, we are delighted to take this step with Socios.com.”
Fan Tokens are collectible digital assets that fans can use for a myriad of different ways to interact with their club. The tokens help revolutionize the fan experience and bridge the digital with the physical. The tokens open up a new world of digital engagement for all holders.
A Growing Football Trend
Socios.com and Chilliz are growing like ivy across the world of football. Everything from tickets to naming a whole league to a recent pregame token exchange between FC Barcelona and Juventus. The biggest sport in the world is modernizing in more ways than just video replay– blockchain.
In England, Arsenal and reigning league champions, Manchester City FC, already have fan tokens through Socios.com. Now two more teams––Everton Toffees and Leeds United––join two enormously popular squads with their tokens and pleasant expectations for digital success.
“We are delighted to welcome Socios.com to the Everton Family in an innovative partnership that will help bring our global fanbase even closer to the club they love,” said Commercial Director of Everton F, Alan McTavish, per the club’s press release. “With Socios.com, we will launch $EFC Fan Tokens that will provide supporters around the world with an opportunity to engage with the Club in a new and exciting way, including taking part in polls on Club initiatives. “
English football has always been known for its active and wildly supportive fans, and the enhancement of the Socios fan token will transform the most passionate fan base in the world. As the most expensive and most popular football league in the world, this partnership growth of Socios.com and Chilliz will likely be lucrative and popular.
