QUICK TAKE
- Socios.com allows sporting organisations to engage with and monetise their global fanbases through digital assets known as Fan Tokens.
- TISA offers a range of bleeding-edge solutions dedicated to sports organisations.

Wrocław, October 06th 2020: Blockchain-based fan voting and rewards app Socios.com are pleased to announce a new tech partnership with TISA.
TISA’s expert services cover the complete spectrum of sports organisations’ tech and business needs. They offer digital solutions that aim to holistically improve the way sports clubs are operating. Over 20 years of combined experience in powering sports with technological innovation allows them to strategically support their partners.
The products that TISA offers unlocks the full power of content and data, enabling sports organisations to engage with fans, analyse fan behaviour and create effective business strategies to build community. UMPIRE is an integrated CMS for sports clubs that enhances clubs’ everyday communication with supporters by boosting their fan engagement. It’s supported by BRISK, more than a social media management tool, which facilitates the creation of effective social media communication. They both work best when backed by WICKET, an SSO-based tool allowing sports organisations to manage customer identity, collect all data in one place and breed loyalty.
Socios.com allows sporting organizations to engage with and monetize their global fanbases through Fan Tokens. To date, 11 major sporting entities, including FC Barcelona, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain have launched Fan Tokens on Socios.com. Fan Tokens are digital assets that provide owners with engagement opportunities, such as voting rights, the ability to compete in leaderboards and soon-to-be-launched features, including Chat and Games. Fan Token holders can also earn unique rewards and experiences linked to their clubs. Dozens more organisations from football and other sports are primed to launch Fan Tokens before the end of 2020.
The Fan Token launch for Turkish football club Trabzonspor, which took place on September 22nd, generated 5 million Turkish Lira in less than 5 minutes, while this summer’s FC Barcelona Fan Token launch created revenues of around $1.3M in under 2 hours.
This new partnership will allow clubs to launch Fan Tokens backed by TISA’s suite of products on Socios.com. WICKET will use Single Sign-On methodology to create a seamless journey for supporters who want to purchase Fan Tokens by integrating already existing club membership profiles with Socioc.com accounts. Connection with TISA’s UMPIRE could be used by Fan Token holders to boost their experience with innovative ways of exposing live match commentary feeds.
The partnership between Socios.com and TISA will initially be focused on launching Fan Tokens within sports organisations in Europe, before expanding into other global markets.
Socios.com founder and CEO Alexandre Dreyfus said: “TISA’s excellent range of products will allow us to enhance engagement on the Socios.com app with certain new partner clubs.
“This partnership will also open new doors for us, both with TISA’s existing partners and with clubs attracted by the prospect of launching Fan Tokens backed by TISA’s powerful content management, engagement and loyalty tools.”
TISA founder and CEO, Matthew Lentowczyk said: “As TISA we aim to be at the forefront of digital transformation in the sports industry. That’s why we are pleased to have this partnership opportunity with Socios.com. We hope that this cooperation will allow sports organisations to maximise the potential of technology.”

About Socios.com
Socios.com launched in late 2019. To date, 11 major sporting organisations, including FC Barcelona, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain have launched Fan Tokens on Socios.com. Fan Tokens are digital assets that provide owners with engagement opportunities, such as voting rights, the ability to compete in leaderboards and forthcoming features including Chat and Games. Fan Tokens also enable holders to earn club-related rewards, as well as discounts and other benefits linked to their clubs and club sponsors — a USP boosted by the launch of the Socios.com ‘I Am More Than A Fan’ VISA Debit Card. Dozens more organisations from football and other sports are primed to launch Fan Tokens before the end of 2020, with many more IP holders set to join the Socios.com roster of partners which already includes MMA giants UFC. We expect Fan Tokens to become the next generation of transactional based engagement for sports fans.
