After C. Ronaldo and Binance’s NFTpartnership last month, a great adventure began to introduce NFT to the masses.

In April, WAGMI became the first Web3 group to acquire a professional sports team, Crawley Town FC.

THE TEAM

WAGMI United has recruited talented co-owners that are some of the most well-known names in the Web3 space including Ffunk, Gmoney, Gary Vaynerchuk, Justin Taylor, Erick Calderon, and Hunter Orrell.

If we formed an NFT team, these people would be among them.

THE GOAL

“There are some traditional sports teams that claim to be ‘community-owned.’ But what do fans actually get? A piece of paper they can frame on their wall? We think they deserve more than that. We want Crawley Town FC to be a community club that reaches anyone with an internet connection. Doing that right means giving our fans a real voice in real decisions that actually make a difference on the field and meaningfully contribute to writing the next chapter in the club’s storied 125-year history. So if you’ve ever wanted to have a say in how your favorite team is run, this is your chance. This is your club.”

Preston Johnson, Co-Founder of WAGMI United

For example, fans and NFT holders can decide whether the club’s chairman can keep their position if the club fails to promote to the League One division by the end of the second year.

THE PARTNER

It’s the first time Adidas will sponsor the team kit apparel of a League Two football club. We already know the importance Adidas attaches to NFT and sports. Now they’re teaming up with Snowfro’s Squiggles.

NFT

The WAGMI United NFT grants holders special input on the future of the Crawley Town FC professional soccer (football) club, limited edition Adidas merchandise (including a WAGMI Town and Chromie Squiggles jersey), access to IRL (in-real-life) events, and more, according to its official Twitter.

Gary Vee recently praised Snowfro when talking about WAGMI United and the jersey.

“I actually think Snowfro might be the most important artist, he’s on a level I don’t think people understand how important he is,” Vee said. “I can’t wait to buy one [jersey].”

The biggest benefit of this will be MASS ADOPTION.

A great way to get the loyal football fanbase to embrace NFTs.
