Manchester City teams with Socios.com for fan token launch
Premier League big hitters Manchester City have partnered with fan engagement platform Socios.com to launch the $CITY fan token on the Chiliz blockchain.
Manchester City are this year’s Premier League runaway leaders, sitting 14 points clear of local rivals Manchester United.
Their fans will be able to use the tokens to access VIP rewards, club promotions, games, AR enabled features and voting rights in certain binding and non-binding polls on Socios.com.
Stephan Cieplik, Senior Vice President of Global Partnerships Sales, City Football Group, says: “We recognise the significant interest in blockchain and the opportunity it provides us to engage further our global fanbase.”
“We are confident that the fan token will prove a popular addition to our digital line-up.”
“We’ve been extremely impressed with how Socios.com have led the way in this space with other European clubs, and we are confident that we have the right platform to succeed and grow together.”
The four-time Premier League champions line up alongside a number of other blockchain dabbling football giants. These include AC Milan, FC Barcelona, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, and AS Roma.
