Singapore – FIFA, the governing body for football worldwide, will be dropping a limited number of digital collectibles later this week that provides holders the opportunity to watch the final game of the 2026 World Cup.
For the first drop, 100 digital collectibles will be made available, with the rarest collectibles offering the chance to secure 2026 FIFA World Cup final tickets. A total of 900 other digital collectibles will be issued on the Polygon network and made available on the OpenSea platform.
Prior to this launch, FIFA’s NFTs were originally minted on Algorand and the organisation chose to move to Polygon with its rising popularity among web3 gaming projects. FIFA also detailed that the move to Polygon will carry over to future releases of any FIFA digital collectible.
Additionally, FIFA also announced that Modex will be taking over the strategic management of its digital collectible platform, which has already dropped several football-branded collections.
Speaking on this, Francesco Abbate, CEO of Modex, said, “Digital collectibles increase the ways in which fans can interact with their favourite players, teams, and the game they love, and we’re honoured to support FIFA in realising this goal.”
The NFT drop comes as the FIFA Club World Cup 2023 kicks off in Saudi Arabia.
