From programmes to scarves, autographs to selfies, football fans the world over love to collect mementos of their favourite team. It’s all about having something unique, personal and identifiably theirs — something that few or no other person in the world can have.

Trading cards and sticker albums have been a huge part of the football collectables scene for decades and they remain popular to this day, despite the growth of the digital age.

But while Fantastec SWAP may just look like a digital version, it actually offers something very, very different…

1. Exclusive personalised content of their favourite players

Getting a hand-signed autograph at the side of the pitch is a big thing for some fans — but imagine getting a player to film their own special celebration move and give the video exclusively to you and a hand full of others. That’s what SWAP can do.

Fake autographs have been the plight of the industry and physical assets in the real world have become easy to forge.

But because these collectibles are authenticated on the blockchain, no item can be copied and special move videos and unique autographs are released on limited edition.

You can have Mesut Ozil performing his celebration or Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang signing his name just for you, all in the palm of your hand. And few other people in the world will ever be able to have that same piece of content.

2. It creates a global swap-shop

You can now swap verified collectibles globally that are protected by the blockchain

Football clubs and players command worldwide audiences but many fans from far-reaching parts of the world have often struggled to feel engaged. SWAP solves this problem.

Wherever they are in the world, fans will be able to unlock fresh, exciting and exclusive content that they can stick in their albums or swap with their connections, starting with Premier League club Arsenal with two further clubs coming soon.

And rather than just swapping with the people in your immediate area, you can connect with global fans — making it easier to find the collectibles you want on a safe platform.

3. It makes swapping official, safe and secure

SWAP’s solution is a first in football collectibles with the official endorsement and involvement of participating clubs.

That means authentic collectibles, permanently protected.

The Blockchain uses mathematics and cryptography to make sure all trades are fair and true, so people all over the world can exchange valuable things online with confidence.
