Champions League Winner, Spanish Champion and Cup, Italian Champion and Cup, Portuguese Cup, FIFA World Player of the Year, Winner of the Ballon d’Or — there is nothing Luís Filipe Madeira Caeiro Figo hasn’t won. And now he is not only the ambassador for STRYKZ but a business and growth partner. Someone that has a giant sports network across the entire world, who knows the industry well and can get us access to the highest ranks.

Sports men who are now influential managers played with him. Until recently Pep Guardiola was the head coach at FC Bayern München and has just led Manchester City to the Premier League title. Figo and Guardiola formed the most breathtaking offensive department at FC Barcelona. “He is like a brother to me. I even had the pleasure to become his daughter’s godfather”, said Guardiola about his friend Figo. He was called “The Portuguese dressman in football boots” by GQ, Pelé named him in the FIFA 100 list of the world’s greatest living players.

He embodied elegance, dynamism, precision, breathtaking dribbling, just the grandeur of the big football stage. And that’s exactly the goal for STRYKZ: To become the number 1 platform for all football fans worldwide. We want to bring sports fans as close to the real action as they can get. “In Football Stars you can pick real players and manage real teams for real upcoming matches. That’s the most fascinating part for me“, says Luís Figo, when he sits down with our CEO Dirk Weyel. “I can’t wait to engage with Football-Stars’ fans and users in in-game challenges” — the world-class sports man is ready for action.

Why Luís Figo chooses STRYKZ as his next big partnership

“When I heard about Football-Stars for the first time I immediately liked the idea,” explains the legend and one of the few players in the world that won champion-ships for both Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. “Football becomes more and more data-driven with detailed statistics about all aspects of the game. This is exactly what Stryking’s platform utilizes to create a compelling fan experience.”

“With the upcoming Token Sale Event, Stryking will scale tremendously, and I am excited to be part of this journey.”

With the launch of our utility token STRYKZ, we will open-up Football-Stars to create a truly community-driven experience. Until now, we receive the performance data of the individual players from our partner Opta once the game has finished. User’s teams are then graded dependent on how their players performed and whoever chose the best combination of all players for her or his team, wins. Though with the implementation of STRYKZ there is far more to come: You can’t just earn STRYKZ by managing your team and making decisions. We want everyone to be a part of Football-Stars growth and will allow users to contribute to the platform in a variety of ways and be rewarded for that, even those creating challenges. Set up a challenge on: Who will have the most passes, or most ball control, crosses or shots on goal. Then make the challenge public to the community and even if you don’t win, as a challenge creator you will receive a portion of the pot as well.
