Visa drops new football NFT collection in build-up to Qatar World Cup
Visa has dropped a new soccer NFT collection in partnership with Crypto.com, as the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar draws closer.
Visa has unveiled new football NFT collection “Masters of Movement”
According to an announcement from Crypto.com, Visa’s new digital collectibles are now up for auction on the cryptocurrency platform.
Visa is one of the largest providers of payment services in the world, and is also one of the most valuable companies in general. The firm is the official payment technology partner of FIFA, which is hosting the World Cup in Qatar later this month.
The Visa Masters of Movement is a hybrid experience that includes a pre-event NFT collection ahead of the World Championship, which is now up for auction.
Fans can bid on Crypto.com from now until November 8 for the digital collectibles, which feature art inspired by some iconic goals from five legendary footballers.
Visa plans to send all proceeds from this auction to Street Child United, a UK-based charity.
At the FIFA Fan Festival later this month, fans will be able to create digital art inspired by their own signature moves on an interactive pitch. And qualified participants will also be able to stamp this art in their own NFTs.
