AC Milan will be the first football club to partner with MonkeyLeague on NFT Gaming
MonkeyLeague plans to launch its first breeding season for MonkeyPlayer NFT in partnership with AC Millan.
Italian professional football club AC Milan has partnered with strategy-based e-sports game MonkeyLeague on NFT games. The football club announced its new relationship with the football game Web3. It noted that MonkeyLeague has become an NFT Gaming Partner. The soccer game is on the Solana blockchain and it allows users to develop and manage their own dream team. Players build a team with at least six Money Player NFTs, including a striker, midfielder, defender and goalkeeper. This team then plays against real players and enters the league ranks just like in real football matches. Players use the in-game currency MonkeyBucks ($MBS) and in-game assets that are also available outside of the game.
MonkeyLeague and AC Milan’s NFT gaming union are part of soccer’s mission to connect Web2 to Web3. On the other hand, the football club also seizes the opportunity to create a unique digital experience for its fans while expanding its Web 3 initiative. With this development, Milan fans will have more access and a closer relationship with their club of interest.
AC Milan and MonkeyLeague partner
AC Milan highlighted expectations for its “new comprehensive, strategic and design” collaboration with MonkeyLeague. Under the agreement, the joint venture will create exclusive Rossoneri-branded NFT game assets and wearables. The Web3 soccer game and Italian champions will work together to roll out a new collection of AC Milan-branded NFT gaming assets. These include MonkeyPlayers, skins and stadiums. The first and exclusive lot of the collection will be auctioned on the NFT marketplace MagicEden, and the highest bidders will win the NFTs. The partnership will promote birth co-marketing events, special gaming tournaments and several different initiatives that players find exciting.
The head of revenue at AC Milan, Casper Stylsvig, noted:
“We are thrilled to begin this partnership with MonkeyLeague, a collaboration that allows us to strengthen our positioning in digital innovation. We are particularly proud to be the first football club to partner with MonkeyLeague, bringing this game to our supporters around the world and offers them a new innovative way to engage with their favorite team.”
Furthermore, MonkeyLeague plans to launch its first MonkeyPlayer NFT nesting season in partnership with AC Millan. AC Millan braided assets can also come out randomly via the breeding process. There would be more NFTs such as stadiums in the game. MonkeyLeague will also enjoy AC Milan sponsoring a few high-profile eSports tournaments. Head of Marketing and Partnerships at the esports game, Oren Langberg, commented:
“Collaboration with champions like AC Milan, an absolutely iconic club throughout the history of football, is yet another proof of what we are building and where we are going as a game and a game studio. It also represents a key step in our plans to bridge the Web2 and Web3 worlds.”
