Blocksport at AIBC Asia in Manila

31 May 2024, Zug, Manila

Blocksport’s COO Samir Ceric and United City FC’s President & CEO Eric Gottschalk will engage in a discussion, moderated by AIBC’s MD Olga Yaroshevsky, on why Web3 matters and how football clubs both in South East Asia, as well as globally (off the back of forward thinking clubs such as Juventus FC & Paris Saint-Germain FC), can leverage blockchain technology for the benefit of fans and clubs, as well as sponsors and partners that today expect a great deal more from their sponsored properties when it comes down to their own ROIs. 

The discussion takes place during the Sports and Tech conference, held at the SMX Convention Centre in Manila as part of the AIBC Asia event. 

Data ownership and data management that fan engagement platforms, such as the one Blocksport has successfully deployed with United City FC, the first Philippines football club to fully embrace the power of Web3, are integral to the commercial success of sporting properties across the globe, and the sooner the clubs’ owners and senior management realise it, the better for them and their fans. 

Fans are no longer satisfied with the basic level of interaction with the clubs they support via ticket and merchandise sale – they want a great deal more – which is the reason they have started organising themselves in fan clubs, creating content, sharing content and consuming content they understand much better than the club owners. 

We are in the era of shared economy and shared content, and fans and fan clubs are at the epicentre of it all. GenZ and Gen Alpha are not your Millennials – and unless something is done about it in terms of the offering, treatment and engagement, they will drift away and build their own ecosystem. Football clubs (and other sports and sporting properties) will miss out a great deal as well as lose their existing fan base, let alone attract a new one. 

Club owners can no longer remain ignorant to what is happening in this day and age; if they do, they will soon be out of business. This session will tackle various challenges, as well as opportunities in the Web3 & the sports space, and discuss how United City FC in partnership with Blocksport is approaching it from all angles, innovating and pioneering not only in the sport industry of the Philippines but the South East Asian region too. 

“Web3 matters, there are no two ways about it”, says Samir Ceric, COO of Blocksport. 

“Our solution – Web3 Made Easy – is designed to educate and empower those making decisions in the world of football and in the world of sport as a whole. I sincerely hope that the audience in Manila will appreciate our holistic approach to Fan Engagement and Web3 education. I am very much looking forward to the session on 4 June, 2024 and am thankful to AIBC for recognising the real need to introduce the multiple sessions on web3 & sport, including the one with Mr Eric Gottschalk, President and CEO of United City FC and myself!”

AIBC Asia 2024

AIBC Asia takes place over the 4nd and 5th of June at the SMX Convention Center in Manila. The 2-day conference brings industry leaders, visionaries, and innovators together to explore the latest trends, exchange insights, and shape the future of emerging technology. Join them in exploring the forefront of innovation and navigating the boundless possibilities to redefine the landscape of these dynamic industries.To purchase a ticket or to view the full agenda visit their website.

Blocksport AG launches strategic partnership with AquaBloom International Sports Technology Group (ABSG) to enter HK and mainland China sports market

HONG KONG / ZUG, April 17th, 2024 — Off the back of the recent partnership announcements with the leading football club in the Philippines, United City FC, and the esport team and the Asian champion in the Free Fire Master League (FFML), Team Thorrad, from Indonesia, Blocksport has signed a strategic partnership with the HK’s leading SportsTech Platform AquaBloom International Sports Technology Group (ABSG). This partnership is designed to increase Blocksport’s footprint across Asia and bring its innovation and technology to the Asia market that’s already recognised the Swiss Sports Tech award winning business as some of the Blocksport key investors include the HK and Chinese companies such as Aveslair, FBG Capital and Spark Digital Capital.

Blocksport, a prominent SportsTech solutions provider based in Zug, Switzerland, is poised to enter the new market whose web3 solutions help sporting properties in football, basketball, rugby and hockey, to name a few, and esport teams to deep their fan engagement and improve existing revenues as well as create new ones through the power of its digital infrastructure and fan engagement platform. This partnership aims to bring innovative solutions to the sports industry in Hong Kong, mainland China, and Asia as a whole, leveraging the strengths of both organisations and their respective networks.

ABSG’s partnerships include some of the biggest sporting properties in the world such as LALIGA and NIKE, and at the recent Digital Entertainment Leadership Forum (DELF), a spotlight was cast on SportsTech, which has seen remarkable growth in recent years, and ABSG has played a pivotal role in driving that agenda and massively contributed to that success.

ABSG works with many powerful, government backed organisations, such as Cyberport, and jointly they recently brought together prominent figures in sports, tech, academia and policymaking to explore the field’s latest breakthroughs and trends where the experts exchanged views on topics such as the capital markets, industry clusters, sports innovations and business partnerships, also discussing what it takes to foster Hong Kong’s SportsTech ecosystem and cluster and establish Cyberport as the SportsTech innovation hub.
Other worthy initiatives were announced including  the partnership with Wanda Sports , which plan to bring the China Cup International Football Championship to Hong Kong. This international tournament will allow start-ups and tech companies to showcase their SportsTech to a global audience. The partnership also aims to bring global sports-focused family offices and investment funds to Hong Kong to grow its SportsTech ecosystem together with government agencies.

The strategic partnership between ABSG and Blocksport is aimed to introduce Blocksport to the Greater China market and present its platform for the benefit of the sports industry as a whole.

Founded in 2019, Blocksport has swiftly gained recognition for its cutting-edge SportsTech solutions, with a strong focus on blockchain technology and is today the force to be reckoned with partnering up with some of the world’s biggest brand and the biggest sponsors of the sport industry internationally.

Mike Yang, Founder and CEO of AquaBloom International Sports Technology Group (ABSG) said: “”ABSG is delighted to welcome Blocksport from Switzerland, another world-class Sports Web3.0 strategic partner and Eco-member to our global SportsTech platform.

We are also very happy for the rapid growth of Blocksport in the last few years and big congratulations to the signature partnership with Deutsche Telekom AG recently!

In addition, ABSG as a globalised SportsTech platform from Asia, we aim to be an one-stop solution hub for top-notch SportsTech companies to gain success in Asia markets and create great synergies with ABSG’s Ecosystem and Major Innovation Projects (MIPs). Looking forward to ABSG x Blocksport’s future various collaborations and strive together for the development of the global SportsTech industry!”.”

Samir Ceric, Chief Operating Officer of Blocksport said: “Mike and I have known each other for some time now and have discussed on multiple occasions the potential of sports tech space not only in HK and across mainland China and Asia as a whole but globally too. Seeing an incredible track record and success one of the organisations he founded, AquaBloom International Sports Technology Group, has achieved over the years, we could not think of a better partner to join forces with in that part of the world as well as globally too. We are looking forward to the journey ahead and have no doubts that Mike Yang and his team will make a huge difference in Blocksport’s ambition to expand our footprint across Asia. Having recently properly expanded our footprint across South East Asia, with recently announced partnerships in the Philippines (United City FC) and Indonesia (Team Thorrad), this strategic partnership could not have come at a more apt time. The HK scene has been close to my heart over the past 20 years and before Covid19, I was a regular visitor to the City and some of the biggest events it holds including Art Basel HK. The recent developments and advancements the HK government has been doing including the launch of the HK Ambassadors Club that’s been driving a trade agenda between HK, Singapore, Dubai and London is a great indication that HK is open for business. We very much look forward to welcoming Mike and his team to Europe and look forward to visiting his offices in HK in not too distant future.“
