FIFA is taking a major step in the world of digital collectibles. The global football authority is launching a Layer-1 blockchain on Avalanche, designed to power its FIFA Collect platform. This move aims to redefine how fans own and interact with digital football memorabilia.
FIFA Builds Blockchain for Fans
Billions of football fans will soon manage their FIFA collectibles on a blockchain built just for them. FIFA has partnered with Avalanche and Modex to develop a new blockchain focused entirely on digital fan experiences.
This dedicated chain offers high performance, top-tier security, and room to scale—ensuring FIFA is ready for the future of Web3 fan engagement.
The FIFA Collect platform will be the first app to run on this new blockchain. It features NFT drops celebrating iconic football moments, star players, and top club collaborations.
Modex Powers the Tech Behind the Move
To make the transition seamless, Modex has been chosen as FIFA’s infrastructure partner and technical developer. Modex will handle blockchain development and marketplace upgrades, ensuring a smooth user experience for collectors.
This collaboration reflects the rising demand for sports digital assets. FIFA’s choice to build its own network on Avalanche gives the organization more flexibility and innovation power.
From Collectibles to Games: FIFA’s Web3 Expansion
FIFA has already dipped into Web3. During the 2022 World Cup, it teamed up with various blockchain startups to launch NFT collections and interactive games.
Now, FIFA is going further. It recently partnered with Mythical Games to launch FIFA Rivals, an upcoming mobile football game. Players will be able to buy, sell, and trade footballers as NFTs within an exclusive in-game marketplace.
