Crystal Palace x BLOCKCHAIN SENSEI

What Happens When Football and Blockchain Collide?

On Monday, We had the opportunity to visit Crystal Palace Football Club and educate the U18 team with Michael Harding on the opportunities and risks of digital assets.

As a big believer in the potential of this industry, it was a great experience to share my knowledge with these talented young athletes.

During our session, we discussed:
• The many benefits of digital assets, and their potential to revolutionise industries such as finance, real estate, and of course, professional sports.
• The importance of being aware of the growing industry.
• The amount of misinformation that can be found online.

From smart contracts to tokenisation of assets, these technologies have the potential to streamline the management of contracts, sponsorships, and even ticket sales. Athletes with big followings can also enhance fan engagement with blockchain-based loyalty programs.

The U18 team at Crystal Palace FC are in a unique position to benefit from a deeper understanding of digital assets and stay ahead of the curve – if they start learning about this now, they can gain more of an understanding of what is actually useful in the crypto space as their career develops (and avoid the attention of bad actors).

We are excited to see the impact that these technologies will have on the sports industry in the coming years, and looking forward to continuing the conversation with more teams and organisations in the future…
