Today, Juventus are proud to announce an innovative multi-year strategic global partnership with blockchain-based fan engagement platform Socios.com, with plans to launch the “Juventus Official Fan Token” to our global fan base.
With more than 340 million Bianconeri supporters worldwide, as well as a global, digital fan base that exceeds 60 million across social media platforms, the launch of the “Juventus Official Fan Token” will evolve the club’s global fan engagement strategy and help to expand our global audience by bringing our fans closer together.
The “Juventus Official Fan Token, will allow the club’s fans across the world to interact through a mobile voting and polling platform that will allow our supporters’ voices to be heard, and create a personal connection between the club and its fans. Supporters will have the chance to purchase “Juventus Official Fan Tokens” through an innovative scheme known as a Fan Token Offering (FTO). Socios.com aim to release the “Juventus Official Fan Token” as early as the first quarter of 2019.
