Sports Gather In The Virtual Space
Earlier, Naomi Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam singles victor, partnered with FTX and made her debut in the Metaverse.
The tennis icon joins other greats from diverse sports, like Tom Brady, Shohei Ohtani, and Stephen Curry, as part of the prestigious FTX ambassador roster.
In her expanded role, Naomi, alongside FTX, is now producing content to bolster the exchange's multicultural global clientele.
With her rich heritage from Haiti and Japan, Naomi brings a unique perspective that aligns with FTX’s global outreach.
As recent forecasts suggest, the allure of the metaverse and Web3 could usher in an evolution, possibly replacing today's Internet.
Not only are individual athletes venturing into the digital realm, but leading sports clubs are also diving in headfirst, with football clubs spearheading the charge.
On March 24, Liverpool announced an exciting collaboration with the prestigious auction house Sotheby’s to present an exclusive NFT collection for fans.
This collection will feature two segments: a unique set of 24 Legendary NFTs and the Hero edition NFT series.
The auction kicks off on Wednesday, March 30, and wraps up on Friday, April 1.
In this expanding market, the goal is to connect devoted followers directly with their sports idols. Additionally, part of the funds will aid Liverpool FC’s official charity, the LFC Foundation, supporting community and charity endeavors.
From football to tennis, rugby to basketball, the metaverse is swiftly becoming the playground for all sports, seemingly a matter of time before all disciplines unite here.
