[8th August, 2018, Hong Kong] Soccer Legends Ltd, a start-up headquartered in Hong Kong, has announced former England International and Manchester United star Paul Scholes as a Principal of the 433 Token initiative.
The 433 Token Ecosystem will bring Blockchain technology and Smart Contracts to football, making the sport more transparent and efficient, while at the same time empowering fans with capabilities they could only dream of before. In doing this for the three billion football fans around the world, 433 Tokens will, in return, promote Blockchain technology and its acceptance all over the world.
433 Tokens, designed as a ERC-20 token with its DApps and Ecosystem to be run on the Ethereum platform, will offer fans a unique opportunity in Sponsoring (a legend to mentor a youth talent), Bidding (for special events auctioned by a legend), and Voting (for a venue, rosters, and even game format of upcoming Global Legend Series games).
As Principal, the 11-time Premier League Champion will truly participate in the 433 Token Ecosystem and shoulder responsibilities such as being a mentor to youth talents and attending special events voted for directly by fans, making the role much deeper and meaningful than a spokesperson.
Retired in 2013 and now a regular television pundit for BT Sport, the 43-year-old Scholes, said:
“I’m a firm believer in supporting youth development in football. I’m delighted to be part of this project and excited about hopefully helping the next generation of young footballers.”

With an aim to raise US$27 million capital, Soccer Legends Ltd, headed by co-founders Raymond Wong and Jason Sze, has ambitious plans to showcase to the world a completely new way to enjoy football, which will benefit fans, legends, talented youths, scouts, clubs, the Blockchain Community, and Crypto investors.
Wong, a 10-year alternative assets investor and Blockchain enthusiast, commented:
“433 Token is a game changer for football fans. Token users can directly sponsor a legend, like Paul Scholes, in mentoring the next superstar. They can also bid for events, say a charity dinner, at which they can interact personally with the legend. Last but not least, they can vote on important football decisions, like where the next GLS exhibition game will be held in
2019. With the great support from our Principals, advisors, and partners, I
am confident that we can bring the system to football fans very soon.”
Global Legends Series, which organises exhibition games involving legendary football players from around the world in selected cities, is an official partner of 433 Token, with a role to bring football expertise and resources to the project.
James Davies Yandle, Co-founder and CEO of Global Legends Series, added:
“Global Legends Series works with a number of the world’s biggest football legends to give back to the sport that has made them who they are today. These superstars continue to command a huge global following, and they are instrumental in inspiring the next generation to play, and excel at football. We firmly back 433 Token and its ambitious plans, as it modernises and revamps the whole football fan experience. We cannot be happier with the 433 Token partnership, and look forward to engaging more directly than ever before with football enthusiasts, and to create a new legacy for these amazing football legends.”
