FIFA Enters NFT Arena, Offering Fans Digital Collectibles and World Cup Tickets
FIFA, the famous international governing body for football, has announced a new digital collectible collection in its first collaboration with tech firm Modex – with some notable perks.
‘FIFA+ Collect’ will be dropping the “dual digital collectible” for the FIFA Club World Cup Saudi Arabia 2023, the press release said.
The first drop of 100 digital collectibles will be available on December 15. It will feature “the rarest collectibles that offer the chance to secure FIFA World Cup 26 final tickets.”
Modex CEO Francesco Abbate commented that,
