The Sports Desk - Football and crypto – perfect match or potent mix?
Download Football and crypto – perfect match or potent mix?
Whether you’re a die-hard football fan or just a casual observer, it’s hard to ignore the rise of crypto products within the game.
We cut through the jargon and explore whether cryptocurrency, fan tokens and NFTs are a vital new revenue source for cash-strapped clubs or a means for them to squeeze even more money out of fans?
We’ll hear from the company producing fan tokens for some of Europe’s biggest clubs, a consumer group calling for greater regulation in the crypto space – and from the American tech firm behind Michael Owen’s controversial NFT scheme.
Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Nesta McGregor, Joe Tidy, Joey D'Urso
Producer: Sam Sheringham
