The strategic plan will allow users to play, using Shirtum’s collectibles based on the memorabilia of athletes and clubs, within the first football metaverse to expand the NFT collecting experience to users.
Metasoccer is a leading soccer Play to Earn game (Football Manager style) in constant development by the Spanish startup Champions Game, while Shirtum is a company specialized in digital sports memorabilia.
This partnership drives a strong statement of intent from both companies as the Metaverse and NFT spaces continue to revolutionize the sports industry. The synergy between both projects will seek to explore and develop experiences that will be able to link all of Shirtum’s partners (athletes, clubs and brands) with the Metasoccer Universe and its partners.
Shirtum is building a world-class C2E (Collect to Experience) ecosystem where fans connect with athletes and clubs by acquiring, collecting and exchanging exclusive NFTs. These digital assets will allow fans to participate in unique experiences both in real life, online and of course in dynamics within the Metasoccer game.
In 2021, Champion Gamers closed a financing round of 2 million euros in which investors such as Play Ventures, ParaFI Capital, Defiance Capital and DAO Maker stood out. The round aimed to lay the groundwork for creating the first sports metaverse with a new generation of digital native soccer players and clubs on MetaSoccer that, over the coming years, could have ratings comparable to those of professional soccer leagues.
Currently, Metasoccer has built its entire metaverse project on the Polygon network and aims to reach 500,000 users. Each one of them will be able to enjoy the different novelties that the game offers: play friendly matches, a career mode, tournaments, and even the construction of stadiums. Once the user is inside the MetaSoccer ecosystem, the game allows them to earn income from sponsorship and marketing, as their NFT characters win matches and notoriety. Several acquisitions can already be seen on their site, and on OpenSea there is a complete list of players. In a few words, users are already enjoying the first Play to Earn dedicated to football lovers.
Rewards for both communities under the partnership agreement
Due to this agreement, both projects want their communities to start interacting and enjoying cross-benefits. For example, in the next few days, all users who have a Shirtum NFT in their wallet, together with the users in the staking ranking, will enter a draw to win a team and start their adventure within the Metasoccer game.
In the case of the Metasoccer’s community, they will enter the draw for unique NFT pieces from some of Shirtum’s most emblematic collections (The Ronaldinhos and Los Cuervos de Boedo de San Lorenzo de Almagro), allowing the lucky ones to enjoy a new way of digital collecting in the world of football. In the coming weeks, both projects will create a space that will favor synergies between their teams to start developing more common use cases that will render both companies, as well as their communities, stronger.
