Making crypto as popular as football
Our project is set up to innovate the way we use blockchain technology in entertainment, by creating a bridge between the cryptosphere and the world of Fantasy Sports.<\/p>\n

To put is simply: we created FootballCoin, a football manager game platform using blockchain technology and issuing our own cryptocurrency (XFC).<\/p>\n

Our mission is to bring the advantages of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies to Football Manager and Fantasy Sports users. In doing that, we offer a degree of anonymity and complete ownership over the game assets, and from a broader point of view we bring our contribution to the mass adoption of DLT (Distributed Ledger Technologies) such as blockchain. We believe in the future of our gaming platform and its global adoption, so our vision is to become a major player in fantasy sports with fans all over the world, while building a strong and healthy game cryptoeconomy.<\/p>\n

Context
When you think about it, football and the crypto world seem universes apart. One is probably the most popular and loved sports in the world, the other is a topic growing in popularity, but with only a handful of people knowing what it means and how it works. We wanted to replace the traditional data mining process with a more fun and productive experience available to people who are not yet a part of the cryptosphere.<\/p>\n

Fantasy football and not gambling
Fantasy sports leagues are not games of chance, they are games of skill. They allow players to exercise direct control over their operations of their fantasy sports team. It also provides the individual with a chance to live vicariously as general managers, or coaches of their own team or teams. Managers must take into account statistics, facts and game theory in order to be competitive.<\/p>\n

Additionally, playing fantasy sports creates a competitive environment and enables sharing of knowledge and expertise on social media platforms.<\/p>\n

Fantasy sports players are motivated to enter the hobby for reasons that usually have nothing to do with money or prizes. The main enjoyment is winning and competing against other sports fans. In fact, frequent surveys of fantasy sports players show that the top reasons for playing include \u201ccompeting with friends,\u201d \u201cenhance my sports experience,\u201d and \u201cto be in a league with friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

The wide reach and universal appeal of soccer has made it a highly popular game across the world and will contribute to this segment\u2019s growth in the coming years.<\/p>\n

The FootballCoin game
Our game allows users to exercise their football knowledge and managerial skills by creating teams and entering competitions. Users are awarded scores calculated according to football player\u2019s real-life performance and can win prizes in XFC coins. The XFC can be used in the game to buy game assets (player cards, stadium cards), or can be used in transactions in the crypto market. All cards are collectibles and remain in possession of the buyer until he decides to sell them, lease them or swap them for other cards.<\/p>\n
