Soccer and technology are now making the world a better place
Sports is, without a doubt, a universal language which people of all backgrounds, cultures and nationalities can come together and enjoy. It has brought joy and even social changes throughout history and has contributed to memorable moments where the world simply became a better place. This has been all thanks to the passion and love people feel for sports.
Throughout the long history of the Olympics; wars have been stopped to allow for the development of the Games safely. The Olympic Truce is a faithful example of the healing power of sports even during times of war. This tradition is observed during all Olympic Games as a way to stand in solidarity and offer ways for countries in conflict to come in contact and reconcile. Such was the case for the 2004 Athens Summer Games where the UN supported the Olympic Committee in asking the nations of the world to stop all wars for 16 days during the Games.
Evidence of the power of sports throughout history is present for the world to see and its impact is something we live almost every day. We can’t help but remember the great Muhammad Ali who used his heavyweight boxing fame for social change during many moments of his career. Ali served as a United Nations Messenger of Peace. He was a firm advocate for peace and justice and served as a model for the world of athletes to bring about change through sports.
When it comes to the world’s most popular sport, Soccer — with over 3.5 billion followers in the planet — it’s clear that fans feel united through it and share a deep passion regardless of age, gender, background or nationality.
The Ronaldinho Soccer Coin (RSC) being a blockchain-powered cryptocurrency is a unique project that aims to help fans unite with each other, and bring real social change with soccer.
Focusing on sports and even e-Sports the RSC ecosystem allows fans to use RSC Token to access services such as attending games, participate in Super Leagues, place a wager on a betting platform supporting their favorite teams, and even fund a charity program called “Smile Project”. It will help less-privileged youths access to the sport with donations of sports items such as footballs for playing soccer.
The RSC ecosystem encompasses the values that make soccer a multi-cultural and relatable universal experience for fans. Ronaldinho, the soccer superstar backing this project understands that when young people, even children of all ages, play together they are learning the universal values of respect, tolerance and fair play and these are one of the most important values a human being can learn during their lifetime.
He has dedicated his on-field and off-field presence to raise funds for charities and even opening soccer academies for poor children.
And he is now bringing forth a new set of technological tools people will use to make the most of their soccer experience.
Users of the RSC services will not only be limited to the normal services a soccer fan finds on physical stadiums but will also have at their disposal Digital Stadiums filled with experiences that enhance more of the positive aspects of the game. Using Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) people will be able to enjoy matches like never before with real-time live updates and statistics just to mention a few. This with the idea to expand the ways in which people can interact with the sport and therefore uniting soccer fans around the world through the use of new technologies.
