Through our partnership, we will bring together the best of blockchain technology and football by co-creating NFTs sure to become instant classics and highly coveted collectibles.”

Crypto.com has a record 10 million users spread around the world, and Lega Serie A will be using this network to expand its target audience beyond the pitch.

We are the first football league in the world to sign an agreement in this new market which is extremely innovative and relevant not only for sports fans, where other world-class leagues such as the NBA have been operating in recent months,” said Luigi De Siervo, CEO of Lega Serie A. “In this way Lega Serie A aims to expand its target audience and continues the international growth of the brand, always looking to the future and innovation.”

While the enthusiasm between both partners signifies how mutually beneficial the sponsorship is, the integration of NFTs will also have a runoff effect in boosting the involvement of both Atalanta and Juventus in the broader crypto ecosystem.
