Zenit St. Petersburg - the top football club in the Russian Premier League - has signed a deal with blockchain gaming platform Sorare. Collectible football cards on blockchain Starting October 15, the blockchain-based game will release collectible cards featuring the team's players. In this way, Zenit will join 100 other international football clubs such as Juventus, PSG, Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, among others. Blockchain player cards can be exchanged with other holders, and players can start playing if they have a minimum of 5 digital cards. The score of each player's card is linked to their actual performances in the soccer league table. Sorare CEO Nicolas Julia said the platform wants to create a global soccer game set in a fantasys climate that includes the top 10 leagues in the world. Since its launch in March 2019, Sorare has seen an average growth of 52% each month and now has 40,000 users worldwide. Interestingly, Russia has become the third largest Sorare marker in the world, seeing a 70% month-on-month user growth. The country also ranks first in terms of average daily time spent on the platform, at 1 hour 15 minutes per day. Zenit CEO Alexander Medvedev said he hopes the partnership with Sorare will give the brand better reach and allow it to reach younger fans abroad, especially in Asia and America. Nonfungible - a ranking service for blockchain games and creators of digital collectibles, or non-fungible NFT tokens - currently ranks Sorare at No. 4. The platform's seven-day volume is $181,353 compared to $445,545 for the first-place game, Superrare. Sports and cryptocurrencies This is not the first time that football clubs have come into contact with cryptocurrencies and Blockchain.
