WC NFTs Abound
The FIFA World Cup 2022 will be held in Qatar from November 21th, 2022, and while fans worldwide eagerly await the event, the crypto industry is also showing excitement.
FIFA: FIFA+ Collect
FIFA+ Collect is an NFT collection released by FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) on the Algoland blockchain. The exciting and iconic moments of the FIFA World Cup and FIFA Women's World Cup have been converted into NFTs.
In addition, everyone who buys an NFT between October 27th, and November 20th, will participate in a "VIP EXPERIENCE PRIZE PACKAGE" drawing. The packages include round-trip air tickets to Doha, luxury accommodations, and match tickets for the quarter-final (December 7-11).

FIFA ARCHIVES DROP ($4.99)

Budweiser: Live Scoreboard NFT
Budweiser, an American beer company, released their "Live Scoreboard NFT," which allows users to track teams’ game status in real-time.
Users can purchase NFTs of the supporting teams and be able to check the scores, wins, losses, and opponents from the NFTs. Also given to purchasers, Budweiser Football Merch Kit, access to a holders-only Discord channel, or Penalty Kick Mini Game at NFT, will significantly benefit fans.
Additionally, purchasers will automatically participate in the "Gold NFT" drawing just like the VIP EXPERIENCE PRIZE PACKAGE for FIFA+ Collect. One lucky winner will receive a round-trip ticket to the World Cup, tickets to the games, and more.
Please note that Budweiser is a beer company, and the purchaser must be of legal drinking age in each country.

Sorare: Global Cup '22
Sorare, an NFT soccer game, has announced that it will hold a limited-time tournament, "Global Cup '22," in conjunction with the World Cup. Usually, players must purchase NFT cards to play, but this time we will be able to play using "common cards," which are given away for free. Although players cannot trade common, this is a great opportunity for those who want to play Sorare.
In the game, eight players form an original team to play a match for a cost of 100 points. Up to two players from the same team can be selected for the goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, and forward positions.

Adidas: Appoints BAYC as Official Trailer
In addition, here is a popular topic.
The Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), one of the blue-chip NFTs, was featured in an official trailer of the World Cup with star players such as Lionel Messi and Karim Benzema.
Adidas, a major sports brand, presented the ad; the character featured was Indigo Herz, purchased by Adidas for 46 ETH in September 2021. BAYC has long permitted the commercial use of NFTs. This case will be an example of taking full advantage of the utility of NFTs.

Buy NFTs to Support Your Favorite Team
This World Cup is unusual because the temperature in Qatar is too hot and dangerous to hold the event in June-August as usual. This year it will be held in November-December.
Crypto assets have been falling in price so why not take this opportunity to buy WC NFTs that preserve your team’s epic moments at a good price?

Nice post. I wonder what the total value was of all the World Cup NFTs sold.
