Exploring Web3-Based Fantasy Football Game

In the beginning of this collaboration, Chiliz and the UAE Pro League will investigate various applications during the trial stage. One application under consideration is creating a Web3-based fantasy football game. This project aims to provide fans with an exclusive and engaging experience as they connect with their beloved teams and players in innovative ways.

Through our partnership, fans will have the opportunity to own exclusive, verified game-balls using blockchain tech. The details of how we’ll distribute these collectibles are still under discussion, but we’re committed to making them accessible to fans everywhere, improving their engagement and enjoyment of the game.

Collaborating with the UAE Pro League, Chiliz aims to bring innovative technology to the league and help foster the growth and recognition of football in the UAE.

Regarding the alliance, Waleed Ebrahim Alhosani, head of UAE Pro League, voiced enthusiasm, sharing that they aim to introduce sophisticated Web3 technologies to spectators, broaden the league’s influence worldwide, and establish new benchmarks for tech-driven innovation in sports.

Alexandre Dreyfus, the CEO of Chiliz and Socios.com, shared the same viewpoint. For him, partnering with the UAE Pro League represents an important achievement for the company as they continue to lead the way in implementing Web3 technologies within the realm of football.

Chiliz Continues to Set a Standard for Football with Web3

Chiliz, the Web3 firm famous for its CHZ token, has previously engaged in football league collaborations. Most recently, they unveiled their team-up with Unagi, a gaming studio, and the French Professional Football League (LFP) to launch Coach Ligue 1 – an innovative fantasy football game developed by a professional football league as a first for the industry.

Fans of Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 can create their ideal squads in this game through digital trading cards based on their preferred players, which are generated on the Chiliz Blockchain. By producing its own assets, the platform avoids the issue of licenses expiring, maintaining a strong bond with fans and adopting a long-term strategy for utilizing the leagues’ intellectual properties.

Through a new collaboration with a blockchain firm, the dedication to enhancing sports and entertainment via Web 3 technology is underscored, according to the CEO’s declaration.

“He expressed our dedication to improving fan engagement through advanced technologies and is excited to help foster football’s expansion and achievement in the surrounding area, utilizing not just our technical know-how and industry connections but also our extensive network in the international sports community.”
