The team is launching an NFT collection for the Golden Ball! Scheduled for October 17, the Golden Ball ceremony is being prepared in advance. The newspaper l'Équipe, a benchmark for sports print media in France, has just announced the launch of a collection of NFTs dedicated to the trophy.
A collection of 2,022 NFTs!
On the occasion of the sixty-sixth Golden Ball ceremony, the newspaper l'Équipe is launching into the world of web 3. And what better than the Golden Ball to benefit from maximum exposure? For the occasion, the newspaper created in 1946 offers a collection of 2,022 NFTs.
The collection, designed in collaboration between the newspaper and the artist Léo Caillard, is based on pyrites, these famous precious stones that adorn the base of the trophy.
Note that the collection will be hosted on the Tezos blockchain , reputed to be among the most respectful in terms of environmental impact. But this project also has a social dimension since part of the profits will be donated to the Fondaction L'Équipe.
This collection of NFTs will allow holders to benefit from exceptional advantages. Some will allow in particular to attend the presentation of the Golden Ball for 20 years. For Fantasy League fans, L'Équipe has also thought of everything. In particular, by forging a partnership with Sorare to obtain cards stamped “Ballon d'or” from their favorite players.
How to buy these NFTs?
If you wish to acquire these NFTs, go to the NFT Ballon d'Or website from September 12th.
For now, the platform is still down, as shown in the image above. If you want to be kept informed, the project has its own discussion group. To do this, you will have to go through the social network Discord. Everything is indicated from the site of the platform.
From September 15, 3 NFTs from the collection will be put up for auction.
