Community-driven football management and trading game Soccerverse has signed an agreement with FIFPRO, the global representative organisation for professional footballers.
The new license grants Soccerverse the rights to use the names and images of more than 65,000 professional football players, marking a significant step up in authenticity for the game, which is a decentralized experience running on the Polygon blockchain.
The worldwide license covers players from over 70 FIFPRO-affiliated member unions, spanning major footballing nations including England, France, Italy, Argentina, Portugal, Belgium, Scotland, Norway and Sweden.
By integrating officially licensed players, Soccerverse adds a new layer of realism, trust and immersion that is often missing in other blockchain games. Gamers can now manage their clubs with real-world players and trade their favourites from the world's top leagues, and compete in a truly dynamic player-driven economy.
The integration of these officially licensed players will be rolled out within the Soccerverse game over the coming weeks, ushering in a new era of authenticity and excitement for all managers as they build their squads.
Developer and Organization Statements
"Partnering with FIFPRO is a landmark moment for Soccerverse and a massive win for our community," said Andrew Gore, CEO of Soccerverse. "Trust and authenticity are critical to our vision, and this license is our commitment to building a legitimate football universe. This is a true partnership that also supports FIFPRO's vital mission, providing a global platform for the entire collective of players and giving our community the chance to discover talent from under-represented footballing nations."
“FIFPRO is delighted to welcome Soccerverse, a community-driven system where fans can shape clubs, share influence, and build something together. We value partners who are willing to innovate and rethink the norm as digital entertainment continues to evolve” stated FIFPRO Commercial Enterprises.
