If you haven’t heard of Socios.Com by now, you must have been living under a rock. In football terms, the company enables fans to get closer to the team they love, to be superfans, in a fashion. And they do this by increasing engagement and involvement by creating things such as fan tokens.
Impressive Partnerships
Socios.Com already have clients such as Turkish giants Galatasaray, Juventus, AS Roma, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint Germain, Manchester City and AC Milan. And, as well as fan tokens coming soon for Arsenal and Inter Milan, the blue half of Merseyside are also entering the fray, as Everton are next in line to work with the company.
Why Fan Tokens
So, what can Everton supporters who purchase $EFC Fan Tokens expect to get in return for their purchase? Well, supporters always say how they want to be involved in the goings-on at their Club. They want to have a say that’s significant rather than taking to social media. And, through the link-up with blockchain firm Chiliz and Socios.Com, they will get to make their voice count through voting on interactive polls on club initiatives, for example.
Token Hunt
Socios.Com are renowned for their augmented reality, geo-location feature called Token Hunt. It’s a feature that Everton fans will have access to as part of the arrangement. They will go head to head with fellow supporters from around the globe, in games carrying an Everton theme, as well as events, quizzes and competitions. And, if you’re a season ticket holder at Goodison Park or an official club member, there will be an opportunity to claim a free $EFC token for a limited time.
Perfect Relationship
Speaking on the deal, Alan McTavish, Commercial Director at Everton Football Club, said, “We are delighted to welcome Socios.Com to the Everton Family in an innovative partnership that will help bring our global fanbase even closer to the club they love.”
Everton
“With Socios.Com, we will launch $EFC Fan Tokens that will provide supporters around the world with an opportunity to engage with the Club in a new and exciting way, including taking part in polls on Club initiatives. Socios.Com are the recognised leaders in blockchain across the sports industry, and the introduction of $EFC Fan Tokens is an exciting opportunity that once again demonstrates the Club’s commitment to engaging with our global fanbase.”
Socios.Com
Chiliz and Socios.Com CEO, Alexandre Dreyfus, was equally as pleased with the agreement, “Everton is a club with great tradition and a passionate, loyal fanbase. It’s also a major name in the most followed football league in the world, with global appeal and a rapidly growing fanbase of followers from all over the planet. “The Club is embracing Socios.Com and Fan Tokens because it recognises the importance and massive potential of fan engagement on a global scale.
“$EFC Fan Tokens will allow Evertonians to become part of a global community of fans brought together by their passion for the Club, where they can enjoy influence, exclusive content, games, competitions and access to once-in-a-lifetime experiences and rewards.
“I’m delighted to welcome Everton on board as our third Premier League partner and can’t wait to bring our shared ideas to life. I also look forward to sharing more news about our exciting plans in the EPL soon.”
