SportyCo, a decentralized sports investment & funding platform, where athletes, clubs, and sports organizations can raise funds required to achieve athletic success, have recently strategically collaborated with Blackbridge Sports to form a grand partnership with Campeonato Brasileiro Série B football club — Avaí Futebol Clube. The partnership is going to result in the launch of the first Initial Coin Offering (ICO) in the history of football, offering a new cryptocurrency for the football lovers, Avai FC Token. The tokens have exclusively been developed for this club. Through investing in this club, football fans across the world can be a part of this great vision.
The Background
The said partnership has brought a unique distinction to Avai FC as it is the first time in the football arena to launch an official cryptocurrency. The purpose of Avai FC tokens is to reduce the gap between sports and the new, rising blockchain industry. SportyCo and Blackbridge Sports are the official blockchain partners of Futebool Club and are deeply involved in its development, including development of blockchain infrastructure, marketing functions and generating leads for the upcoming crowdsale.
Marko Filej, the Co-founder at SportyCo expresses his views on this partnership as,
“We are pleased to welcome Avaí FC as our partner. We are looking forward to working with Avaí FC as they launch their new cryptocurrency. SportyCo has always been on the forefront of innovation in sports financing and with this initial coin offering we are opening a new chapter in football and the sports industry in general”.
Francisco José Battistotti, the President of Avaí Futebol Clube, states,
“With our ICO, we are actively targeting a global football fan base, while engaging all Avaí FC in Florianópolis and Brazil, working together towards our goal – to become a stable member of Brazil’s Série A and qualify for the Copa Libertadores. We are delighted to do so in partnership with SportyCo and be the first sports company to do an initial coin offering, paving the way for other clubs all over the world to approach financing their sporting activities in this novel way.”
The exclusive pre-sale for the AVAI Token will be set up on SportyCo’s platform, giving its supporters first mover advantage in this revolutionary event, with a special bonus only for SPF holders. The AVAI Token ICO starts on October 3, 2018, at 12:00 UTC. The exclusive pre-sale on https://sportyco.net will be set up in the week beforehand, with more details to follow in the next days.
