“I am very excited to finally be able to launch our official NFTs! Blocksport has been working hard to provide a solid platform for sports and Esports clubs to list and sell their digital assets and I am happy to be one of the first organizations to have their NFTs listed on the platform.

Azzurri are going to advance in digitalization and tokenization with the help of the Blocksport platform. The partnership will start with the official fan app release for all Empoli fans and then the Italian football club will launch NFTs and Fan Tokens as a part of the tokenization process. 

Fan application is a huge opportunity for both club and fans to feel more connected, here Azzurri fans can find unique options like match predictions, fan chats, exclusive content, and fan missions. NFTs give Empoli fans an opportunity to buy unique digital assets like photos, cards, videos, and memorabilia. With Fan Token Empoli fans can directly take part in clubs’ life, buying fan tokens gives an opportunity to vote for important decisions and to exchange them for “money can’t buy” items and experiences. 

Empoli is a Serie A club based in the Tuscany region and founded in 1920. Since then Azzurri have participated 14 times in Serie A from the first time (1986-87) and they are currently in eighth place in the Serie A rankings, stunning the entire nation. The club plays at Stadio Carlo Castellani with 16,284 capacity, Empoli is known for many big names who worked and played here like Maurizio Sarri, Luciano Spalletti, Luca Toni, Sebastian Giovinco, Antonio Di Natale Francesco Caputo, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Claudio Marchisio, Vincenzo Montella and many others. 

Blocksport is a Swiss-based SportsTech company with specialization in tokenization and digitalization, they provide traditional and esports clubs with white-label branded fan app with the model of subscription, so clubs don’t need to pay much for development. Also, Blocksport is a platform for NFTs and Fan Tokens for their partners where they can launch and sell them. Among Blocksport partners are Ukrainian football champions Dynamo Kyiv, English Rugby League top-tier club Salford Red Devils, and Virtus.pro – Tier 1 organization in esports. 

Andrea Donegà, Blocksport’s manager in Italy, said: “We are delighted to be able to work with a historic and fast-growing club like Empoli FC, which has proven to be visionary and forward-thinking in identifying the value of these new technologies. We at Blocksport aim to help them grow their fanbase also at an international level and give their fans new wonderful experiences, in order to build even more solid foundations and exploit new digital revenue streams for the Club.“

“It is with great satisfaction – commented Empoli COO Gianmarco Lupi – that we announce Empoli’s arrival in the world of NFT and FAN TOKEN just one year after the entry of the top clubs from all over the world. In recent months there have been many crypto players who have come to our club and this confirms the important history and sporting results of the club. Together with Vice President Rebecca Corsi we strongly wanted this thing, we evaluated what was the best opportunity and we’ve identified Blocksport as the perfect partner, who will create a series of Fan tokens and NFTs dedicated both to the present but also to the past by virtue of the legends we had. The main objective of the partnership is to monitor and involve new targets who are becoming more and more passionate about the world of Cryptocurrencies. Soon we will also expand our presence on the social platforms of the moment like TikTok and Twitch in order to create a further link with our fans by telling more in-depth the daily life of the club.“

This step will continue the digitalization and tokenization process for the club and its fans. Earlier in March 2020, SSP Esports and Blocksport launched the official fan app to engage Sissi State Punks fans in gamified digital space. 

Sissi State Punks is a club that combines both esports and entertainment. SSP is not a typical club as they want to create a close connection between gaming and music. Now SSP has 5 teams in different games like Tekken 7, CSGO, Rainbow 6, Super Smash Bros. and Fortnite as well as a lot of streamers and personalities from the world of music.

“We are happy to create our own SSP NFT’s and offer them exclusively to our loyal community, which has been with us for over a year now. With our own comic, which we publish bi-weekly on Twitter and our website, we have already made the first step in this direction and would like to continue to create unique graphics and videos. We are proud to further intensify our partnership with Blocksport.” Patrick Krippner, Vice-President & Digital Lead of Sissi State Punks, commented.

“SSP team was one of early adopters of our fan app platform when Blocksport just started its successful journey in Esports market. And I personally much appreciate the loyalty and support I have seen from Mario Garstenauer and Patrick Knipper. I know that the NFT and Fan Tokens partnership is a quite important milestone for the SSP team and they have full support now from me and Blocksport!”, Vladimir Liulka, CEO and Co-Founder of Blocksport, said.

British 6-time champion and Rugby League Challenge Cup winner Salford Red Devils are partnering with Swiss-based Sports Tech company Blocksport. The partnership aims to develop new digital ways for fans to be more involved with the club beginning with the launch of a new interactive app for supporters which will see engagement and digitalization for Red Devils fans reach a new level. 

 The first stage of the multi-year partnership will be the launch of the Fan App to engage clubs’ fans with unique gamification features like fan voting, chats, predictions, and a fan rating system. It will create a unique digital space for all fans. 

The partnership will then extend to the launch of a Fan Token and NFTs as the Red Devils work with Blocksport to evaluate and enter the world of blockchain technologies.

The co-operation will see the creation of a content thread helping fans to understand the uses of blockchain technology, and in particular, the Fan Token and NFT offering that will be created to support and enhance a new engagement ecosystem underpinned by the new Fan App. 

NFTs are non-fungible unique digital items like photos, videos, cards, and collectibles that can be identified by the code written in the blockchain. Fan Tokens are not about collecting exclusive items, they give fans all over the world an opportunity to vote for important decisions in clubs’ life like jersey design and can be exchanged for unique fan experiences and merchandise.   

 Paul King, Executive Chairman at Salford Red Devils added;

“Salford Red Devils are a community-focused rugby league club and we’re excited to introduce more ways for fans to be involved by developing our digital community through the platform that Blocksport can provide.

 Recent weeks have seen big announcements in our players, coaching, pathways, and our work in the community. Matching that with a next-level platform for fans is important as we prepare for what is shaping up to be an exciting 2022 season.”

Samir Ceric says:

‘It is very humbling and exciting to be joining Vladimir and his team at Blocksport in this very important stage of the company’s growth. None of this would have been possible without our friend and business associate Sam Li, who made an initial introduction and made me aware of the potential of Blocksport a year ago. Having witnessed a huge expansion drive under the leadership of the company’s CEO Vladimir Liulka as well as having realized how unique Blocksport is in the space of sports tech, very early on I picked my ‘loyalty’ with Blocksport above and beyond the industry’s other major players and have a huge belief and confidence that Blocksport will be a game-changer for many top clubs and athletes when it comes down to the opening of new revenue streams as well as their tokenization and digitalization that will enable them all to become more viable, more profitable and ultimately more successful in today’s very competitive sports industry, be it football, basketball, rugby to name a few. I’m thrilled to be on board and am looking forward to the journey ahead. ‘

Czech-based Esports organization will launch its first collection of NFTs and exclusive Fan Tokens to continue digitalization and tokenization to engage its fans. Last year the club launched its official fan app with Blocksport and now they continue their partnership.

NFTs are unique digital assets like photos, videos, cards, designs, collectibles that have their unique code written in blockchain, they are exclusive and can’t be forged. Fan Tokens are other types of tokens, they can be exchanged and give fans a unique opportunity to take part in clubs’ life by voting for important decisions and even buying some special merchandise or fan experience. 

Sinners Esports was founded in 2019 by Petr Syrovatko to engage esports talents from the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Now, this club has rosters in CSGO and LoL and also players in FIFA, LoR, and RL. Sinners participate in both domestic and international tournaments and already have some achievements.

Comment from Blocksport

I am happy to see how our partnership with the Sinners team is growing up over the years. These guys are awesome and their fans are incredible! Blocksport is delighted to become a tokenization partner for the Sinners

• Vladimir Liulka, CEO 

Digitalization is an option only for big clubs with huge fan bases – that’s a false statement. Many managers think that having an official club app is a luxury feature, very expensive in development, and with a very long payback. This is not an option for a small club that needs revenue right now and a fast payback to cover expenses and grow in revenue. 

But it is not true and we will show how any club with just 10000 fans can earn from 21’000€ per year only with the help of a fan app. 

So let’s start with expenses. Application with integrated ticketing, merchandise store, fan rating, voting, streaming, gamification, and chats will cost from 100000€, is that true? Yes, but we have a different option. Ready-to-use fan app customized and branded for your club. You can actually even try your design right now. The app will be ready in just 30 days and you will pay only for using it. Like you pay for a Netflix subscription. It will cost you from 399 to 1499€ depending on a feature package. We understand that 1499 is a big expense for a little club so let’s take the Basic package for 399€. The second thing is that we have a revenue share model so you will get 90% of revenue from the app and Blocksport will earn 10%.

It will cost you 4788€ for a year. Now let’s talk about revenue and the money you can get. 

We have a special model which is currently working for our clients. Here we have a number of fans, conversion rate, and revenue per fan. So let’s say you have 10000 fans and the conversion rate will be 10% which is quite realistic, so at the beginning, you will have 1000 active users that will spend their money on your fan app. Each user will spend 29€ per year which is quite realistic too. 

So what do we have right now?

1000 fans will spend 29€ each in 1 year and you will get 29’000€ of revenue. Let’s remember about app subscription and revenue share so you will have 21’212€ from the first year and you can easily grow in numbers attracting new sponsors to your fan app. If your fanbase will increase – your revenue will increase too, if your app will have chats with players, interesting content, and other features – your fans will spend more money. That’s why 21’212€ per year is just a starting point for a little club. 

The Kharkiv club will be the first Ukrainian football club to launch its NFT together with Blocksport. NFTs are unique digital items such as rare photos, players cards, top shots, and other collectibles. NFTs cannot be replicated because each item has its hash code entry in the blockchain network. The “yellow blues” will present their first NFTs as the unique digital panini pictures of the players.

FC Metalist 1925 is the only representative of Kharkiv in the Ukrainian Premier League. The club was founded in 2016 and since that time club has passed all leagues – from amateur to professional and currently plays in the top division. Furthermore, anyone can become a member of the unique club project “Fan Club”. 

The release of NFT is an extension of the collaboration between FC Metalist 1925 and Blocksport, which began with the launch of an official application for fans of the Kharkiv club.

Fans will be able to buy clubs’ NFT on the Blocksport NFT platform and over the fan app at a later stage.

“Blocksport is proud of its partnership with FC Metalist 1925, which started earlier in 2021 with a launch of bespoke fan app for the club’s community. Nowadays, we are expanding our collaboration by launching unique NFT collections for club fans. I personally see great potential in our partnership with FC Metalist 1925, and I am sure that such football clubs will become a great example for others in Ukrainian football. Keep it up!” Vladimir Liulka, CEO and Co-Founder of Blocksport, says.

“We are very happy to be the first Ukrainian football club that is launching a special collection of NFTs for our fans. Having behind positive experience with Blocksport, we decided to scale our existing partnership. It should speed up the digitalization processes within FC Metalist 1925, and in the meantime, our fans will get access to absolutely new digital products by the club.” Andriy Nedelin, Executive Director of FC Metalist 1925, comments.
