Spanish and German football giants join Sorare blockchain game

Sorare, a fantasy football game where fans can trade official blockchain cards, and Spanish and German giants Atlético Madrid, Valencia CF and Schalke 04 have signed a landmark agreement to bring the benefits of blockchain gaming to football fans.

For decades, Football fans have traditionally collected and played with physical player cards but, when it comes to the digital world, this has never been possible.

Current digital games provide items that are neither scarce nor actually owned by the millions of gamers that play them.

Sorare’s blockchain player cards are limited edition digital collectibles that gamers can own, freely trade and use in a global fantasy game.

Sorare is already officially licensed by 30 football clubs with dozens of other major clubs lined up and ready to be announced throughout the remainder of the season.

In Sorare, managers compose teams of 5 blockchain cards to compete in Fantasy Football Leagues to earn prizes and unlock achievements.
Managers get ranked based on the performance of their players on the pitch, and bonus points related to the power of their blockchain cards.
