In collaboration with Berlin-based start-up FANZONE, the Bundesliga basketball club from the Bavarian capital is releasing digital trading cards, so-called “non-fungible tokens” (NFTs). The first player collection contains 43 motifs of the Bundesliga squad in different designs with increasing exclusivity and value. Fans of FC Bayern Basketball (FCBB) can buy, collect, trade and earn exclusive prizes from the digital trading cards. FC Bayern Basketball is the first team in the EuroLeague with its own NFT collectibles.
There will be four rarity levels — Common (limited to 3000 pieces), Rare (1000), Epic (500) and Legendary (100). The digital cards are distributed in 3 different card packs, which contain 5 to 9 cards with different rarity levels. The prices of the different card packs range from 4,99€ to 29,99€. Each pack offers the chance to get one of the four categories.

NFT owners also have the chance to win exclusive prizes if they have collected their FC Bayern Basketball collection in full by the end of the regular season. These prizes include signed jerseys and VIP tickets to FCBB playoff games at the Audi Dome.
“The cooperation with FANZONE is another exciting step towards innovation at FC Bayern Basketball,” says Sebastian Ferschl, Head of Business Strategy. “Our primary goal here is to understand how we can use new technologies at FCBB to further increase fan engagement.”
Dirk Weyel, Co-Founder & CEO of FANZONE: “We are excited to welcome FC Bayern Basketball, one of the most successful and prestigious German clubs, to our Basketball Zone. Like hardly any other, club FC Bayern Basketball stands for achieving visionary goals. With our NFT collection, we want to give existing and new fans a new engagement tool and the chance to have unique fan experiences.”
FANZONE’s Eco-NFTs are listed on the Polygon blockchain, an Ethereum sidechain that is considered a “green” blockchain. The Polygon blockchain uses 99.9% less energy on ETH 2.0 than other NFTs on Ethereum thanks to proof-of-stake. Unlike Proof-of-Work, Polygon uses Proof-of-Stake validation, which ensures very low power consumption.
All new FANZONE users will receive a free onboarding pack upon their first registration, giving them 5 NFT cards right from the start.
