The metaverse in the world of football in 2022

The metaverse continues to grow and new sectors are developing in this universe, notably football. Different initiatives and projects have been launched recently, we tell you more!

Football in the metaverse

Created by Marc Cercós, Patxi Barrios and Alex Fiestas, MetaSoccer is the first football metaverse. Linked to the web 3.0In this metaverse, it is possible to create one's own club (team, logo, name, etc.), to form a team with the players of one's choice and to play against other teams in order to develop one's players. This metaverse is therefore as close as possible to the real football market. The platform also integrates NFTs into its model. Indeed, each "real" football player who participates in the competition becomes an NFT, i.e. a unique digital asset that will belong to one club only.

The entrepreneurs behind the project describe their metaverse as a "new milestone for world football and for the web3. Indeed, it is a new version of football that is being born and is comparable to the level of professional clubs. To play, it is necessary to buy MSU tokens. Indeed, it is necessary to have them in order to buy players and participate in competitions. Depending on the results obtained, participants will receive rewards.
