FIFA, crypto, AI, and the virtual world
During the last World Cup held in Dubai, FIFA entered the world of trending technologies, including crypto, blockchain, and the metaverse. FIFA teamed up with blockchain technology company Algorand as a sponsor and partner in the last tournament, making the blockchain firm FIFA’s official blockchain platform.
Algorand also became a regional supporter for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ in North America and Europe, and an official sponsor for the FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023™.
FIFA also partnered with the crypto exchange Crypto.com and Visa at the event. Crypto.com became the official crypto sponsor of FIFA, and FIFA, in partnership with Visa, launched the Visa Masters of Movement NFTs that showcased some of the best goals by Jared Borgetti, Tim Cahill, Carli Lloyd, Michael Owen, and Maxi Rodriguez.
Going into the world of AI, the world football governing body made a deal with Altered State Machine to bring the AI football metaverse game into the tournament.
