Chiliz Continues to Set a Standard for Football with Web3
This partnership is not Chiliz’s first venture into football leagues. The Web3 company, known for its native token CHZ, recently announced its collaboration with game studio Unagi and the French Professional Football League (LFP) to introduce Coach Ligue 1, the first-ever fantasy football game created by a football league.
This game allows fans of Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 to build their dream teams using digital trading cards, created on the Chiliz Chain, featuring their favorite players. By developing its own assets, it eliminates the risk of licenses expiring, ensuring a lasting connection with fans and a sustainable approach to utilizing the league’s intellectual properties.
This partnership by the blockchain company showcases its commitment to improving sport and entertainment using Web 3 technology, as echoed in the statement made by its CEO.
“We’re committed to enhancing the fan experience through these innovative platforms and look forward to contributing to the growth and success of football in the wider region by leveraging not only our technology and expertise but also our remarkable network within the global sports industry,” said he.
