Soccer scores a place on the blockchain
It is safe to say that the world of football (soccer) and sports in general is changing rapidly while adjusting to new available technologies. One of the most interesting technologies being used now to re-invent a new experience for soccer fans is blockchain technology and the potential it brings is huge.
Sports fans overall crave immersive experience. Ones that put them right next to the action of their favorite players or teams. Nowadays, fans can watch their favorite games on high definition television and national fantasy leagues to get more out of their enjoyment for the sport. But even with this participatory viewing experience the audience wants more.
One of the best answers in providing a better experience lies in the use of technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR). Such is the case of the Major League Baseball (MLB) in the U.S.A which released an app called ‘At Bat’ where fans in the stadium can use their mobile devices to instantly obtain a snapshot of each player’s statistics such as arm strength and catch probability, even batting averages. Virtual Reality, on the other hand, is also being considered as a way to put more in the hands of players. The National Basketball Association (NBA), in the USA has also partnered with a VR firm which broadcasted all of the 2017–2018 season games in virtual reality.
It is clear that digital technologies have invaded sports and changing the way teams and audiences interact with each other transforming fans’ relationships with their club or athletes and putting them next to each other on the playing field and outside of it. One can now download an application that helps them keep tabs on their favorite sport and get video footage of their preferred content. AR and VR are a natural evolution that is adding more flavor to what fans like.
And what better sport to be revolutionized than only the most popular sport in the world? With a following of — half of the planet’s population — soccer carries the biggest potential to turn a new page where soccer history meets the technologies of tomorrow, today.
Ronaldinho Soccer Coin (RSC) is a blockchain project with the main mission of changing the world of soccer for fans all over the world.
To do this it uses blockchain technology to fuel a Token called RSC. This technology is recognized as a very secure way to transmit data via a distributed framework mainly because it does not rely on a single central network. This makes it completely decentralized and safer than other types of storage that depend on single servers. This also eliminates possibilities of being hacked. RSC is then a cryptocurrency that will be used to buy different services such as AR/VR experiences and products in soccer stadiums around the world. Using blockchain guarantees its reliability and ease of use and provides an added value against other options that may be available.
RSC is the entry ticket to the new world of soccer and virtual soccer for fans around the globe. It allows a very low cost option to make payments overseas and even faster than relying on third-party services. This way it is making it far easier for fans to adopt when choosing a form of payment for the most up-to-date technologies to enjoy soccer like never before.
This poses a tremendous possibility with even something as simple as selling tickets to games and making sure stadiums are always packed to minimize no-shows. As you may recall the opening match for the 2018 FIFA World Cup hosted by Russia where organizers estimated roughly 6,000 empty seats. These were tickets that may have been distributed to football associations and never sold or where providers failed to sell tickets as they should have. RSC can facilitate distribution and fix payment issues on one-single-go allowing more people to enjoy the sport and attend their desired match
This project is supported by one of soccer’s living legends, Ronaldinho. And is being regarded as one of the pioneers in the world of soccer to create a complete ecosystem of platforms where fans can enjoy and participate in the sport. Not only that, it is also a at the forefront by using blockchain technology because of all the advantages it provides making it an even better option than other services. It houses the best of the soccer and tech world under one same roof.
