PSG sells NFT tickets for its Japan tour

French soccer team Paris Saint Germain will return with its Japanese tour for the first time in 27 years, and it comes as an innovation as the ticket for its matches in Japan comes in the form of NFT.

Three premium tickets for the Japanese Tour NFT will be available, one for each of the three matches, and will be on sale until Wednesday.

Those who manage to purchase their NFT tickets for the PSG Japan Tour will get VIP access to the venue and will also be able to meet and greet with some of PSG’s star players.

As this is the first time PSG has returned to Japan since 1995, an NFT will be launched to commemorate the event.

PSG’s first match on their tour will take place on July 20 with Kawasaki Frontale as part of the J1 League.

Some of the soccer stars present will be:

• Kylian Mbappe
• Neymar Jr
• Lionel Messi 
• Marco Veratti
• Marquinhos 

All of whom will be on tour in Japan.

We see that soccer clubs are among the companies that have more acceptance for innovations related to cryptocurrencies and NFT, being undoubtedly PSG one of the first to adopt them. For since December 2020 they have had their fan token on Binance which they use to encourage the participation of their fans around the world in club affairs.

Today PSG stands as the first soccer club to sell its ticket as NFT, but it is worth noting that around the world other clubs are also championing many bullish innovations regarding the adoption of digital collectibles.

One example is that in March, FC Barcelona announced that it was preparing to launch its NFT collection and cryptocurrencies. Other clubs, such as Manchester United and Manchester City, are also investing in web3.0 and the Metaverse ecosystem.

We expect to see more adoption of cryptocurrencies and NFTs not only by soccer clubs but also by all their fans.
