What’s wrong with the industry that you want to change it? How do you think you’ll be able to do that?
As a football agency, we have found that there are many financial/operational inefficiencies within the industry that made us realize that there was potential in applying blockchain technology to football.
1. Football is an ecosystem in itself, that does not operate as a byproduct of any single economy, but rather has ties to a diversity of countries, currencies, capital inflows, and football market dynamics.
2. The unfortunate reality of the industry is that corruption does exist, and FIFA is doing all they can to crack down on financial fair play, and require transparency from an ownership/transaction perspective.
3. There are very few opportunities for the fans of the world’s #1 sport to give back to the game and engage in depth.
4. Clubs receive sponsorship, broadcasting, merchandise sales, tickets sales, and transfer fee revenue in different currencies, and at each exchange/transaction point, the club loses money in transaction fees.
5. Payment delays are rampant throughout the industry.
We believe using blockchain technology can help solve these problems because of smart contracts. Smart contracts can verify and automate the transfer of digital assets between persons on a common network. A smart contract could trigger the transfer of digital tokens from a sponsor in the United States to a club in Europe upon the occurrence of a specific event, such as qualifying for a particular tournament. Also, consider the current player transfer process. When two clubs agree to sell a player, the player goes to their new club for a medical checkup. After the player passes the medical test,
the player will sign the new contract, and then the buyer will transfer funds in the denomination of the seller’s choosing. The smart contract protocol will automate this process, and ensure that the transfer is made on time, for the agreed to amount with a single currency, eliminating the currency exchange. These secure digital transactions can save time and money in the transfer process. Furthermore, FIFA, and every Token holder will be able to see that the transfer was made on the distributed ledger, providing full transparency and security to the transfer process.
