According to Infantino, FIFA is seriously considering launching a FIFA Coin, which could be a tool to strengthen the connection with fans and increase their engagement. “Our goal is to reach a global audience of 5 billion people,” he emphasized.
US President Donald Trump has expressed support for this initiative, saying that such an asset could even surpass FIFA itself in value in the future.
The next World Cup will be held in 2026, and will be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Amid this news, the crypto community has already managed to create several FIFA-branded tokens, some of which turned out to be scams. One of them showed an incredible growth of 357,000% immediately after the summit.
Earlier in November, FIFA, together with Mythical Games, announced the release of the mobile football arcade game FIFA Rivals with NFT cards. The game will run on the Mythos blockchain built on Polkadot.
Meanwhile, research by Elympics, conducted in October, showed that the complexity of cryptocurrency payments remains one of the main obstacles to the mass distribution of blockchain games.
