Conclusion
Sport has always been able to drive and inspire the people, however, in the past year due to covid, this field has suffered greatly from a lack of direct engagement with its fans.
But thanks to today’s technology it is possible to build something attractive and interesting for all kinds of sports.
SportsIcon is an innovative startup that aims to provide even more value through sports-centric NFTs and direct collaboration with athletes to cinematic quality digital collectibles. The impact of athletes is comparable to that of influencers, with very large margins of growth due to their popularity on a global scale. NFT technology has therefore paved the way for scenarios that break with the past, providing a stratification of the fan base on different levels and enhancing the most loyal fans. However, all this will only be possible by channeling the interest of fans into a proprietary platform, which allows to manage fan engagement initiatives of different kinds and to implement gamification dynamics that lend themselves to the NFT. We strongly believe that SportsIcon can grow this structure. In addition, the team has expressed its intention to collaborate with more athletes and sports organizations globally to increase the connection between fans and sports idols even further through the use of NFT and blockchain technologies, and to create a true NFT metaverse, thus making non-fungible tokens increasingly accessible to sports fans.
The SportsIcon team has also established the “SportsIcon LION CLUB”, an exclusive group for SportsIcon Lion Club NFT owners, who will have exciting opportunities to meet and interact with their idols and have unique benefits. The Lion Club has already benefited from exclusive community webinars with Luis Figo and Baron Davis via zoom and 3 IRL events, two at Wembley Stadium, London, and one at Madison Square Gardens, New York.
(Other initiatives include: In-person meetups with the greatest sportspeople of all time, Airdrops of exclusive sports-related NFTs, VIP sporting event tickets, Real-world sports outings, Free entry to $ICONS stadium to view NFTs in VR, Private discord community channel, and more).
Halvings Capital is extremely excited to support SportsIcon and its team, NFT, SPORTS and FANS will now have a new way to be connected and we are sure it will be an exciting journey!
