TheFutbolCoin (TFC), the token that brings the world’s favorite sport in the realm of crypto has announced the creation of TFA Worldwide Association, a non-profit organization operating from Zug, Switzerland, that is dedicated to raising awareness of cryptocurrencies and NFTs to football clubs around the world.
Football (or soccer) is the most played sport in the world and the industry around it is huge, with the last FIFA Cup generating over $4.6 trillion in 2018. TFC was created to serve the football clubs with its 3 pillars of value. The first pillar of TFC value is its adoption in TFA as the only way to pay for ads. That creates utility and demand for TFC. The second pillar is community, TFC is loved and adopted by Clubs, fans and businesses that want to reach the football audience. The third pillar of value for TFC is its use as a secure store of wealth by its 100,000+ holders who love its limited supply, utility model and growth potential.
TFA Worldwide Association
While other attempts of connecting crypto with football are more about sponsoring it, the non-profit organization aims to promote the use of TFC and TFA to clubs in order to unlock hidden monetary potential. Cryptos are famous for ushering in a new era of finances and economics and applying that to football is just a natural progression.
The TFA Worldwide Association will be donating TFC to different organizations in order to not only promote the sports but also bettering the world.
The association has influential board members, including Shareen Qureshi, a banking veteran and Market Development Director at Barclays. She has served as liaison to top Premier League clubs in the past. Standing along her is Stefan Lindemann, the CEO of the largest family-owned bank in the world, LGT Group. The financial expertise and strong connections in the football world make them the perfect board members to handle the association.
TFC Acceptance
In the ocean of thousands of crypto tokens, TFC particularly is above the rest due to its mission and acceptance in the public. The token runs on the Stellar network, leveraging on its inbuilt speed, security and extremely low transfer fee. Livingston FC, the top-rated club of the Scottish Premier League has already announced that match tickets and official merchandise will be available to fans through the TFA using the TFC.
The unique mission, usability and practical approach of TFC have also garnered interest by institutions that are not into football specifically, but education - and in a much more public interest manner. Where other universities are only leveraging cryptocurrencies by using it for their endowments, students of undergrad degrees at Alexander College in Cyprus can pay their tuition for their Law, Business Management, Accounting and Finance undergrad degrees and even an MBA international program.
The sister token PANDA (www.thepandatoken.com) is a token that is launched on the BINANCE Smart Chain and specifically created for opening up to 700 sports to crypto and allowing people to buy game-related NFTs. The token can be obtained through PancakeSwap and then be used to buy and sell the non fungible tokens on TFA. Launched a little over a week ago, PANDA has garnered extreme interest, with the token price rising more than a hundredfold.
The large ecosystem of TFA, its unique approach towards football through TheFutbolCoin and eventually other sports using PANDA token and NFTs and spreading into education is perhaps the most effective way crypto, sports and education can be combined towards creating an all round economy that is beneficial to everyone, whether you love sports or want to be a professional in the world.tech.
