A team in the English domestic league has signed three players depending on the NFTs voting of its supporters. Through an NFT referendum, League Two club Crawley City solicited the opinion of its fans over which player to recruit.
Notably, Crawley City allowed season ticket holders and NFT members to vote. Despite the fact that not all season ticket holders participated, the club ultimately signed three outfielders. Consequently, the signings of Jayden Davis, Ben Wells, and Moe Shubbar occurred.
However, co-owner Preston Johnson clarified that not all NAFTA members had participated in the process. Johnson proved that, although incorporating fans in switch decisions, the ultimate decision regarding who to play rests with the manager. The Co-Owner disclosed that the club did not give its supporters the final say on who to sign. Instead, the membership had previously provided them with statistics to help them make decisions.
However, the event is remarkable in terms of how NFTs have altered fan interaction. The program is a significant improvement over the type of involvement offered by the well-known sports token company “Socios.” With Socios, fans only make minimal decisions, such as the type of music to be played through the stadium’s music system.
Remember that the League Two membership has just experienced a shift of fortune. In April, WAGMI’s membership witnessed a takeover by crypto enthusiasts. Since then, the membership has been in the news for numerous occurrences.
First, the Chelsea Girls’ roster made a formidable transfer for award-winning coach Emma Hayes. After failing to convince the manager to join the club, Crawley City shifted its focus to Arsenal Youth Coach Kevin Betsy. Consequently, his signature was obtained last month.
Moreover, the presence of crypto enthusiasts as club members has sparked a romance between the club and cryptocurrency. The membership introduced an NFT-only strip, becoming the first English club to do so. Moreover, Crawley city launched its own local cryptocurrency, allowing supporters to gain the club’s third strip by investing in the token.
The fresh new membership owners have decreased Ticket Costs by thirty percent while selling 10,000 NFTs to followers. This idea generated $4 million in revenue for the membership. In addition, the homeowners established a seven-member council based on direct contacts.
Lastly, the presence of the new owners has resulted in a new nickname for the club. Crawley City is currently referred to as “Web Soccer Group.” The new owners intend to build a mobile international community of soccer fans. Imagine that anyone with Internet access can actively support the organization regardless of location. The club aims to compete at the highest level of English domestic soccer despite being three promotions away.
